[PATCH 0/4] hv_balloon: fixes for num_pages_onlined accounting and misc improvements

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



While doing routing code review I noticed that commit 6df8d9aaf3af
("Drivers: hv: balloon: Correctly update onlined page count") introduced
an issue with num_pages_onlined accounting on memory offlining. Deeper look
showed that the accounting was always buggy. This is fixed in PATCH3.
PATCHes 1 and 2 are preparatory cleanups, PATCH4 adds a tracepoint to
post_status so it's now possible to see what's being sent to the host and
where the data comes from.

One more thing: currently core MM code forbids offlining blocks with
reserved pages in it, I plat to send a patch making it possible.

Tested with WS2016 only.

  hv_balloon: fix printk loglevel
  hv_balloon: simplify hv_online_page()/hv_page_online_one()
  hv_balloon: fix bugs in num_pages_onlined accounting
