* xen/tmem: Don't use self[ballooning|shrinking] if frontswap is off.Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk2013-05-151-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | There is no point. We would just squeeze the guest to put more and more pages in the swap disk without any purpose. The only time it makes sense to use the selfballooning and shrinking is when frontswap is being utilized. Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
* xen/tmem: Remove the boot options and fold them in the tmem.X parameters.Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk2013-05-151-24/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If tmem is built-in or a module, the user has the option on the command line to influence it by doing: tmem.<some option> instead of having a variety of "nocleancache", and "nofrontswap". The others: "noselfballooning" and "selfballooning"; and "noselfshrink" are in a different driver xen-selfballoon.c and the patches: xen/tmem: Remove the usage of 'noselfshrink' and use 'tmem.selfshrink' bool instead. xen/tmem: Remove the usage of 'noselfballoon','selfballoon' and use 'tmem.selfballon' bool instead. remove them. Also add documentation. Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>

| | | | | | | | | The variety of disable_[cleancache|frontswap|selfshrinking] are making this a bit complex. Just remove the "disable_" part and change the logic around for the "nofrontswap" and "nocleancache" parameters. Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>

* xen/tmem: Split out the different module/boot options.Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk2013-05-151-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | There are three options - depending on what combination of CONFIG_FRONTSWAP, CONFIG_CLEANCACHE and CONFIG_XEN_SELFBALLOONING is used. Lets split them out nicely out in three groups to make it easier to clean up. Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>

* xen: tmem: enable Xen tmem shim to be built/loaded as a moduleDan Magenheimer2013-04-301-9/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow Xen tmem shim to be built/loaded as a module. Xen self-ballooning and frontswap-selfshrinking are now also "lazily" initialized when the Xen tmem shim is loaded as a module, unless explicitly disabled by module parameters. Note runtime dependency disallows loading if cleancache/frontswap lazy initialization patches are not present. If built-in (not built as a module), the original mechanism of enabling via a kernel boot parameter is retained, but this should be considered deprecated. Note that module unload is explicitly not yet supported.

* xen: cleancache shim to Xen Transcendent MemoryDan Magenheimer2011-05-261-0/+264
This patch provides a shim between the kernel-internal cleancache API (see Documentation/mm/cleancache.txt) and the Xen Transcendent Memory ABI (see http://oss.oracle.com/projects/tmem). Xen tmem provides "hypervisor RAM" as an ephemeral page-oriented pseudo-RAM store for cleancache pages, shared cleancache pages, and frontswap pages. Tmem provides enterprise-quality concurrency, full save/restore and live migration support, compression and deduplication.
