balloon: check the number of available pages in leak balloon

2016-08-01T18:44:51+00:00

The balloon has a special mechanism that is subscribed to the oom
notification which leads to deflation for a fixed number of pages.
The number is always fixed even when the balloon is fully deflated.
But leak_balloon did not expect that the pages to deflate will be more
than taken, and raise a "BUG" in balloon_page_dequeue when page list
will be empty.

So, the simplest solution would be to check that the number of releases
pages is less or equal to the number taken pages.

It was caused by non-lru page migration which needs compaction.h but
compaction.h doesn't include any header to be standalone.

I think proper header for non-lru page migration is migrate.h rather
than compaction.h because migrate.h has already headers needed to work
non-lru page migration indirectly like isolate_mode_t, migrate_mode
MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS.

mm: balloon: use general non-lru movable page feature

2016-07-26T23:19:19+00:00

Now, VM has a feature to migrate non-lru movable pages so balloon
doesn't need custom migration hooks in migrate.c and compaction.c.

Instead, this patch implements the page->mapping->a_ops->
{isolate|migrate|putback} functions.

With that, we could remove hooks for ballooning in general migration
functions and make balloon compaction simple.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: compaction.h requires that the includer first include node.h]

virtio_balloon: fix PFN format for virtio-1

2016-05-22T16:44:13+00:00

Everything should be LE when using virtio-1, but
the linux balloon driver does not seem to care about that.

virtio_balloon: export 'available' memory to balloon statistics

2016-03-17T22:09:34+00:00

Add a new field, VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_AVAIL, to virtio_balloon memory
statistics protocol, corresponding to 'Available' in /proc/meminfo.

It indicates to the hypervisor how big the balloon can be inflated
without pushing the guest system to swap.

virtio_balloon: Allow to resize and update the balloon stats in parallel

2016-03-10T23:40:18+00:00

The virtio balloon statistics are not updated when the balloon
is being resized. But it seems that both tasks could be done
in parallel.

stats_handle_request() updates the statistics in the balloon
structure and then communicates with the host.

update_balloon_stats() calls all_vm_events() that just reads
some per-CPU variables. The values might change during and
after the call but it is expected and happens even without
this patch.

update_balloon_stats() also calls si_meminfo(). It is a bit
more complex function. It too just reads some variables and
looks lock-less safe. In each case, it seems to be called
lock-less on several similar locations, e.g. from post_status()
in dm_thread_func(), or from vmballoon_send_get_target().

The communication with the host is done via a separate virtqueue,
see vb->stats_vq vs. vb->inflate_vq and vb->deflate_vq. Therefore
it could be used in parallel with fill_balloon() and leak_balloon().

This patch splits the existing work into two pieces. One is for
updating the balloon stats. The other is for resizing of the balloon.
It seems that they can be proceed in parallel without any
extra locking.

virtio_balloon: Use a workqueue instead of "vballoon" kthread

2016-03-10T23:40:13+00:00

This patch moves the deferred work from the "vballoon" kthread into a
system freezable workqueue.

We do not need to maintain and run a dedicated kthread. Also the event
driven workqueues API makes the logic much easier. Especially, we do
not longer need an own wait queue, wait function, and freeze point.

The conversion is pretty straightforward. One cycle of the main loop
is put into a work. The work is queued instead of waking the kthread.

fill_balloon() and leak_balloon() have a limit for the amount of modified
pages. The work re-queues itself when necessary. For this, we make
fill_balloon() to return the number of really modified pages.
Note that leak_balloon() already did this.

virtballoon_restore() queues the work only when really needed.

The only complication is that we need to prevent queuing the work
when the balloon is being removed. It was easier before because the
kthread simply removed itself from the wait queue. We need an
extra boolean and spin lock now.

My initial idea was to use a dedicated workqueue. Michael S. Tsirkin
suggested using a system one. Tejun Heo confirmed that the system
workqueue has a pretty high concurrency level (256) by default.
Therefore we need not be afraid of too long blocking.

virtio: make find_vqs() checkpatch.pl-friendly

2016-01-12T18:47:06+00:00

checkpatch.pl wants arrays of strings declared as follows:

  static const char * const names[] = { "vq-1", "vq-2", "vq-3" };

Currently the find_vqs() function takes a const char *names[] argument
so passing checkpatch.pl's const char * const names[] results in a
compiler error due to losing the second const.

This patch adjusts the find_vqs() prototype and updates all virtio
transports.  This makes it possible for virtio_balloon.c, virtio_input.c,
virtgpu_kms.c, and virtio_rpmsg_bus.c to use the checkpatch.pl-friendly
type.
