xen: Use correctly the Xen memory terminologies

2015-09-08T17:03:49+00:00

Based on include/xen/mm.h [1], Linux is mistakenly using MFN when GFN is meant, I suspect this is because the first support for Xen was for PV. This resulted in some misimplementation of helpers on ARM and confused developers about the expected behavior. For instance, with pfn_to_mfn, we expect to get an MFN based on the name. Although, if we look at the implementation on x86, it's returning a GFN. For clarity and avoid new confusion, replace any reference to mfn with gfn in any helpers used by PV drivers. The x86 code will still keep some reference of pfn_to_mfn which may be used by all kind of guests No changes as been made in the hypercall field, even though they may be invalid, in order to keep the same as the defintion in xen repo. Note that page_to_mfn has been renamed to xen_page_to_gfn to avoid a name to close to the KVM function gfn_to_page. Take also the opportunity to simplify simple construction such as pfn_to_mfn(page_to_pfn(page)) into xen_page_to_gfn. More complex clean up will come in follow-up patches.

xen: switch extra memory accounting to use pfns

2015-09-08T15:28:06+00:00

Instead of using physical addresses for accounting of extra memory areas available for ballooning switch to pfns as this is much less error prone regarding partial pages. Reported-by: Roger Pau Monné Tested-by: Roger Pau Monné Signed-off-by: Juergen Gross Signed-off-by: David Vrabel

xen: add page_to_mfn()

2015-01-14T05:22:00+00:00

pfn_to_mfn(page_to_pfn(p)) is a common use case so add a generic helper for it. Signed-off-by: David Vrabel Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

xen: allow balloon driver to use more than one memory region

2011-09-29T15:12:10+00:00

Allow the xen balloon driver to populate its list of extra pages from more than one region of memory. This will allow platforms to provide (for example) a region of low memory and a region of high memory. The maximum possible number of extra regions is 128 (== E820MAX) which is quite large so xen_extra_mem is placed in __initdata. This is safe as both xen_memory_setup() and balloon_init() are in __init. The balloon regions themselves are not altered (i.e., there is still only the one region).

xen/balloon: account for pages released during memory setup

2011-09-29T15:12:09+00:00

In xen_memory_setup() pages that occur in gaps in the memory map are released back to Xen. This reduces the domain's current page count in the hypervisor. The Xen balloon driver does not correctly decrease its initial current_pages count to reflect this. If 'delta' pages are released and the target is adjusted the resulting reservation is always 'delta' less than the requested target. This affects dom0 if the initial allocation of pages overlaps the PCI memory region but won't affect most domU guests that have been setup with pseudo-physical memory maps that don't have gaps. Fix this by accouting for the released pages when starting the balloon driver. If the domain's targets are managed by xapi, the domain may eventually run out of memory and die because xapi currently gets its target calculations wrong and whenever it is restarted it always reduces the target by 'delta'.

xen: add extra pages to balloon

2010-11-20T06:15:59+00:00

Add extra pages in the pseudo-physical address space to the balloon so we can extend into them later. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge

xen: make include/xen/page.h portable moving those definitions under asm dir

2008-04-24T21:57:32+00:00

The definitions in include/asm/xen/page.h are arch specific. ia64/xen wants to define its own version. So move them to arch specific directory and keep include/xen/page.h in order not to break compilation.

x86: page.h: make pte_t a union to always include

2008-01-30T12:32:57+00:00

Make sure pte_t, whatever its definition, has a pte element with type pteval_t. This allows common code to access it without needing to be specifically parameterised on what pagetable mode we're compiling for. For 32-bit, this means that pte_t becomes a union with "pte" and "{ pte_low, pte_high }" (PAE) or just "pte_low" (non-PAE).
