[PATCH 0/6] Drivers: hv

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

 



This patch set enhances the balloon driver functionality to add support
for memory "hot-add". Windows hosts use a combination of ballooning and
hot-add to dynamically balance the available memory across competing virtual
machines. With this, Linux guests can fully participate in the Windows
Dynamic Memory protocol.

Additionally, I have also fixed an issue in the Vmbus driver in the way
the offer rescind message is handled.

Only one of the patches being resent has been modified from the previous version
sent out a few days ago. This is the patch that adds hot-add functionality:
[PATCH RESEND 5/6] Drivers: hv: balloon: Implement hot-add functionality

In this version of this patch, the balloon driver can be deployed on Linux
instances that don't support MEMORY_HOTPLUG.

K. Y. Srinivasan (6):
  Drivers: hv: balloon: Do not request completion notification
  Drivers: hv: balloon: Execute balloon inflation in a separate context
  Drivers: hv: balloon: Execute hot-add code in a separate context
  Drivers: hv: balloon: Make the balloon driver not unloadable
  Drivers: hv: balloon: Implement hot-add functionality
  Drivers: hv: vmbus: Handle channel rescind message correctly
