[RFC IDEA v2 6/6] drivers/virtio/virtio_balloon: integrate ACMA and ballooning

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

 



Let the host effectively inflate the balloon in access/contiguity-aware
way when the guest kernel is compiled with specific kernel config.  When
the config is enabled and the host requests balloon size change,
virtio-balloon adjusts ACMA's max-mem parameter instead of allocating
guest pages and put it into the balloon.  As a result, the host can use
the requested amount of guest memory, so from the host's perspective,
the ballooning just works, but in transparent and
access/contiguity-aware way.
