Self-ballooning dynamically balloons available kernel memory driven
|
by the current usage of anonymous memory ("committed AS") and
|
controlled by various sysfs-settable parameters. Configuring
|
FRONTSWAP is highly recommended; if it is not configured, self-
|
ballooning is disabled by default. If FRONTSWAP is configured,
|
frontswap-selfshrinking is enabled by default but can be disabled
|
with the 'tmem.selfshrink=0' kernel boot parameter; and self-ballooning
|
is enabled by default but can be disabled with the 'tmem.selfballooning=0'
|
kernel boot parameter. Note that systems without a sufficiently
|
large swap device should not enable self-ballooning.

help
|
Memory hotplug support for Xen balloon driver allows expanding memory
|
available for the system above limit declared at system startup.
|
It is very useful on critical systems which require long
|
run without rebooting.
|
|
Memory could be hotplugged in following steps:
|
|
1) target domain: ensure that memory auto online policy is in
|
effect by checking /sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks
|
file (should be 'online').
|
|
2) control domain: xl mem-max <target-domain> <maxmem>
|
where <maxmem> is >= requested memory size,
|
|
3) control domain: xl mem-set <target-domain> <memory>
|
where <memory> is requested memory size; alternatively memory
|
could be added by writing proper value to
|
/sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/target or
|
/sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/target_kb on the
|
target domain.
|
|
Alternatively, if memory auto onlining was not requested at step 1
|
the newly added memory can be manually onlined in the target domain
|
by doing the following:
|
|
for i in /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/state; do \
|
[ "`cat "$i"`" = offline ] && echo online > "$i"; done
|
|
or by adding the following line to udev rules:
|
|
SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/bin/sh -c '[ -f /sys$devpath/state ] && echo online > /sys$devpath/state'"

other domains. This makes sure that any confidential data

is not accidentally visible to other domains. Is it more

Extends grant table module API to allow allocating DMA capable

buffers and mapping foreign grant references on top of it.

The resulting buffer is similar to one allocated by the balloon

driver in that proper memory reservation is made by

|
needed).

This is useful for sharing foreign buffers with HW drivers which

cannot work with scattered buffers provided by the balloon driver,

but require DMAable memory instead.

The PCI device backend driver allows the kernel to export arbitrary
|
PCI devices to other guests. If you select this to be a module, you
|
will need to make sure no other driver has bound to the device(s)
|
you want to make visible to other guests.
|
|
The parameter "passthrough" allows you specify how you want the PCI
|
devices to appear in the guest. You can choose the default (0) where
|
PCI topology starts at 00.00.0, or (1) for passthrough if you want
|
the PCI devices topology appear the same as in the host.
|
|
The "hide" parameter (only applicable if backend driver is compiled
|
into the kernel) allows you to bind the PCI devices to this module
|
from the default device drivers. The argument is the list of PCI BDFs:
|
xen-pciback.hide=(03:00.0)(04:00.0)
|
|
If in doubt, say m.
