[PATCH v2 0/4] make balloon pages movable by compaction
This patchset follows the main idea discussed at 2012 LSFMMS section:
"Ballooning for transparent huge pages" --
http://lwn.net/Articles/490114/
to introduce the required changes to the virtio_balloon driver, as well as
changes to the core compaction & migration bits, in order to allow
memory balloon pages become movable within a guest.
Rafael Aquini (4):
mm: introduce compaction and migration for virtio ballooned pages
virtio_balloon: handle concurrent accesses to virtio_balloon struct
elements
virtio_balloon: introduce migration primitives to balloon pages
mm: add vm event counters for balloon pages compaction

[PATCH v2 1/4] mm: introduce compaction and migration for virtio ballooned pages
This patch introduces the helper functions as well as the necessary changes
to teach compaction and migration bits how to cope with pages which are
part of a guest memory balloon, in order to make them movable by memory
compaction procedures.

[PATCH v2 2/4] virtio_balloon: handle concurrent accesses to virtio_balloon struct elements
This patch introduces access sychronization to critical elements of struct
virtio_balloon, in order to allow the thread concurrency compaction/migration
bits might ended up imposing to the balloon driver on several situations.

IIUC, the problem is that it is hard to get contiguous memory in guest-side after ballooning happens because guest-side memory could be very fragmented by ballooned page. It makes THP page allocation of guest-side very poor success ratio. The solution is that when memory ballooning happens, we allocates ballooned page as a movable page in guest-side because they can be migrated easily so compaction of guest-side could put together them into either side so that we can get contiguous memory. For it, compaction should be aware of ballooned page. Right? -- Kind regards, Minchan Kim

Seems sensible that the virtio_baloon changes go in at the same time as the mm changes, so: Acked-by: Rusty Russell <rusty at rustcorp.com.au> Cheers, Rusty.
