Even if guest were compiled without SMP support, it could not assume that host wasn't. So switch to use mb() instead of smp_mb() to force memory barriers for UP guest.

commit 35848f68b07df3f917cb13fc3c134718669f569b upstream.

Even if guest were compiled without SMP support, it could not assume that host
wasn't. So switch to use mb() instead of smp_mb() to force memory barriers for
UP guest.

Drivers: hv: balloon: Support 2M page allocations for ballooning 2013-03-29T16:03:21+00:00 K. Y. Srinivasan kys@microsoft.com 2013-03-18T20:51:37+00:00 f766dc1ea576fcdfbf2bc5638757ddbdacfb5a69 On Hyper-V it will be very efficient to use 2M allocations in the guest as this makes the ballooning protocol with the host that much more efficient. Hyper-V uses page ranges (start pfn : number of pages) to specify memory being moved around and with 2M pages this encoding can be very efficient. However, when memory is returned to the guest, the host does not guarantee any granularity. To deal with this issue, split the page soon after a successful 2M allocation so that this memory can potentially be freed as 4K pages. If 2M allocations fail, we revert to 4K allocations. In this version of the patch, based on the feedback from Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz>, I have added some additional commentary to the patch description.

On Windows guests, the host can generate application consistent backups using the Windows VSS framework. On Linux, we ensure that the backup will be file system consistent. This driver allows the host to initiate a "Freeze" operation on all the mounted file systems in the guest. Once the mounted file systems in the guest are frozen, the host snapshots the guest's file systems. Once this is done, the guest's file systems are "thawed". This driver has a user-level component (daemon) that invokes the appropriate operation on all the mounted file systems in response to the requests from the host. The duration for which the guest is frozen is very short - a few seconds. During this interval, the diff disk is comitted. In this version of the patch I have addressed the feedback from Olaf Herring. Also, some of the connector related issues have been fixed. Signed-off-by: K. Y.
