[PATCH v10 0/5] make balloon pages movable by compaction
Memory fragmentation introduced by ballooning might reduce significantly
the number of 2MB contiguous memory blocks that can be used within a guest,
thus imposing performance penalties associated with the reduced number of
transparent huge pages that could be used by the guest workload.
This patch-set follows the main idea discussed at 2012 LSFMMS session:
"Ballooning for transparent huge pages" --
http://lwn.net/Articles/490114/
to introduce the required changes to the virtio_balloon driver, as well as
the changes to the core compaction & migration bits, in order to make those
subsystems aware of ballooned pages and allow memory balloon pages become
movable within a guest, thus avoiding the aforementioned fragmentation issue
Following are numbers that prove this patch benefits on allowing compaction
to be more effective at memory ballooned guests.
Results for STRESS-HIGHALLOC benchmark, from Mel Gorman's mmtests suite,
running on a 4gB RAM KVM guest which was ballooning 1gB RAM in 256mB chunks,
at every minute (inflating/deflating), while test was running:

[PATCH v10 1/5] mm: introduce a common interface for balloon pages mobility
Memory fragmentation introduced by ballooning might reduce significantly
the number of 2MB contiguous memory blocks that can be used within a guest,
thus imposing performance penalties associated with the reduced number of
transparent huge pages that could be used by the guest workload.
This patch introduces a common interface to help a balloon driver on
making its page set movable to compaction, and thus allowing the system
to better leverage the compation efforts on memory defragmentation.

[PATCH v10 2/5] mm: introduce compaction and migration for ballooned pages
Memory fragmentation introduced by ballooning might reduce significantly
the number of 2MB contiguous memory blocks that can be used within a guest,
thus imposing performance penalties associated with the reduced number of
transparent huge pages that could be used by the guest workload.
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 v10 3/5] virtio_balloon: introduce migration primitives to balloon pages
Memory fragmentation introduced by ballooning might reduce significantly
the number of 2MB contiguous memory blocks that can be used within a guest,
thus imposing performance penalties associated with the reduced number of
transparent huge pages that could be used by the guest workload.
Besides making balloon pages movable at allocation time and introducing
the necessary primitives to perform balloon page migration/compaction,
this patch also introduces the following locking scheme, in order to
enhance the syncronization methods for accessing elements of struct
virtio_balloon, thus providing protection against concurrent access
introduced by parallel memory compaction threads.
- balloon_lock (mutex) : synchronizes the access demand to elements of
struct virtio_balloon and its queue operations;
- pages_lock (spinlock): special protection to balloon's pages bookmarking
elements (list and atomic counters) against the
potential memory compaction concurrency;

The PATCH "mm: introduce compaction and migration for virtio ballooned
pages"
hacks around putback_lru_pages() in order to allow ballooned pages to be
re-inserted on balloon page list as if a ballooned page was like a LRU page.
As ballooned pages are not legitimate LRU pages, this patch introduces
putback_movable_pages() to properly cope with cases where the isolated
pageset contains ballooned pages and LRU pages, thus fixing the mentioned
inelegant hack around putback_lru_pages().

[PATCH v10 0/5] make balloon pages movable by compaction

The patchset looks reasonable to me and your empirical results look good. But I don't feel that I'm in a position to decide on its overall desirability, either in a standalone sense or in comparison to any alternative schemes which anyone has proposed. IOW, Rusty and KVM folks: please consider thyself poked. I looked through the code and have some comments which are minor in the overall scheme of things. I'll be more comfortable when a compaction expert has had a go over it. IOW, Mel joins the pokee list ;) (The question of "overall desirability" is the big one here. Do we actually want to add this to Linux? The rest is details which we can work out).

[PATCH v10 1/5] mm: introduce a common interface for balloon pages mobility
