vmw_balloon: Fix offline page marking with compaction

2019-08-28T20:57:07+00:00

The compaction code already marks pages as offline when it enqueues pages in the ballooned page list, and removes the mapping when the pages are removed from the list. VMware balloon also updates the flags, instead of letting the balloon-compaction logic handle it, which causes the assertion VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageOffline(page)) to fire, when __ClearPageOffline is called the second time. This causes the following crash. [ 487.104520] kernel BUG at include/linux/page-flags.h:749!

vmw_balloon: no need to check return value of debugfs_create functions

When calling debugfs functions, there is no need to ever check the return value. The function can work or not, but the code logic should never do something different based on this.

vmw_balloon: Split refused pages

2019-05-24T18:19:17+00:00

The hypervisor might refuse to inflate pages. While the balloon driver handles this scenario correctly, a refusal to inflate a 2MB pages might cause the same page to be allocated again later just for its inflation to be refused again. This wastes energy and time. To avoid this situation, split the 2MB page to 4KB pages, and then try to inflate each one individually. Most of the 4KB pages out of the 2MB should be inflated successfully, and the balloon is likely to prevent the scenario of repeated refused inflation.

vmw_balloon: Add memory shrinker

2019-05-24T18:19:17+00:00

Add a shrinker to the VMware balloon to prevent out-of-memory events. We reuse the deflate logic for this matter. Deadlocks should not happen, as no memory allocation is performed while the locks of the communication (batch/page) and page-list are taken. In the unlikely event in which the configuration semaphore is taken for write we bail out and fail gracefully (causing processes to be killed). Once the shrinker is called, inflation is postponed for few seconds. The timeout is updated without any lock, but this should not cause any races, as it is written and read atomically. This feature is disabled by default, since it might cause performance degradation. Reviewed-by: Xavier Deguillard Signed-off-by: Nadav Amit Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

vmw_balloon: Compaction support

2019-05-24T18:19:17+00:00

Add support for compaction for VMware balloon. Since unlike the virtio balloon, we also support huge-pages, which are not going through compaction, we keep these pages in vmballoon and handle this list separately. We use the same lock to protect both lists, as this lock is not supposed to be contended. Doing so also eliminates the need for the page_size lists. We update the accounting as needed to reflect inflation, deflation and migration to be reflected in vmstat. Since VMware balloon now provides statistics for inflation, deflation and migration in vmstat, select MEMORY_BALLOON in Kconfig.
