Let's finally add s390 support for virtio-mem; my last RFC was sent 4 years ago, and a lot changed in the meantime. The latest QEMU series is available at [1], which contains some more details and a usage example on s390 (last patch). There is not too much in here: The biggest part is querying a new diag(500) STORAGE_LIMIT hypercall to obtain the proper "max_physmem_end". The last two patches are not strictly required but certainly nice-to-have. Note that -- in contrast to standby memory -- virtio-mem memory must be configured to be automatically onlined as soon as hotplugged. The easiest approach is using the "memhp_default_state=" kernel parameter or by using proper udev rules. More details can be found at [2]. I have reviving+upstreaming a systemd service to handle configuring that on my todo list, but for some reason I keep getting distracted ... I tested various things, including: * Various memory hotplug/hotunplug combinations * Device hotplug/hotunplug * /proc/iomem output * reboot * kexec * kdump: make sure we don't hotplug memory One remaining work item is kdump support for virtio-mem memory. This will be sent out separately once initial support landed.
