* Drivers: hv: remove HV_DRV_VERSIONOlaf Hering2013-08-021-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove HV_DRV_VERSION, it has no meaning for upstream drivers. Initially it was supposed to show the "Linux Integration Services" version, now it is not in sync anymore with the out-of-tree drivers available from the MSFT website. The only place where a version string is still required is the KVP command "IntegrationServicesVersion" which is handled by tools/hv/hv_kvp_daemon.c. To satisfy such KVP request from the host pass the current string to the daemon during KVP userland registration. Signed-off-by: Olaf Hering <olaf@aepfle.de> Acked-by: K. Y.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we are posting pressure status, we may get interrupted and handle the un-balloon operation. In this case just don't post the status as we know the pressure status is stale. Signed-off-by: K. Y.

| * Drivers: hv: balloon: Fix a bug in the hot-add codeK. Y. Srinivasan2013-07-161-8/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As we hot-add 128 MB chunks of memory, we wait to ensure that the memory is onlined before attempting to hot-add the next chunk. If the udev rule for memory hot-add is not executed within the allowed time, we would rollback the state and abort further hot-add. Since the hot-add has succeeded and the only failure is that the memory is not onlined within the allowed time, we should not be rolling back the state. Fix this bug. Signed-off-by: K. Y.

* Drivers: hv: Notify the host of permanent hot-add failuresK. Y. Srinivasan2013-03-291-2/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | If memory hot-add fails with the error -EEXIST, then this is a permanent failure. Notify the host of this information, so the host will not attempt hot-add again. If the failure were a transient failure, host will attempt a hot-add after some delay. In this version of the patch, I have added some additional comments to clarify how the host treats different failure conditions. Signed-off-by: K. Y.

* Drivers: hv: balloon: Support 2M page allocations for ballooningK. Y. Srinivasan2013-03-291-2/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Drivers: hv: balloon: Implement hot-add functionalityK. Y. Srinivasan2013-03-151-21/+387
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement the memory hot-add functionality. With this, Linux guests can fully participate in the Dynamic Memory protocol implemented in the Windows hosts. In this version of the patch, based Olaf Herring's feedback, I have gotten rid of the module level dependency on MEMORY_HOTPLUG. Instead the code within the driver that depends on MEMORY_HOTPLUG has the appropriate compilation switches. This would allow this driver to support pure ballooning in cases where the kernel does not support memory hotplug. Signed-off-by: K. Y.

* Drivers: hv: balloon: Make the balloon driver not unloadableK. Y. Srinivasan2013-03-151-7/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The balloon driver is stateful. For instance, it needs to keep track of pages that have been ballooned out to properly post pressure reports. This state cannot be re-constructed if the driver were to be unloaded and subsequently loaded. Furthermore, as we support memory hot-add as part of this driver, this driver becomes even more stateful and this state cannot be re-created. Make the balloon driver unloadable to deal with this issue. Signed-off-by: K. Y.

* Drivers: hv: Add Hyper-V balloon driverK. Y. Srinivasan2012-11-151-0/+1041
Add the basic balloon driver. Windows hosts dynamically manage the guest memory allocation via a combination memory hot add and ballooning. Memory hot add is used to grow the guest memory upto the maximum memory that can be allocatted to the guest. Ballooning is used to both shrink as well as expand up to the max memory. Supporting hot add needs additional support from the host. We will support hot add when this support is available. For now, by setting the VM startup memory to the VM max memory, we can use ballooning alone to dynamically manage memory allocation amongst competing guests on a given host. Signed-off-by: K. Y.
