Dropping the reference count of PageOffline() pages allows offlining code to skip them. However, we also have to convert PG_reserved to another flag - let's use PG_dirty - so has_unmovable_pages() will properly handle them. PG_reserved pages get detected as unmovable right away. We need the flag to see if we are onlining pages the first time, or if we allocated them via alloc_contig_range().

Each virtio-mem device owns exactly one memory region. It is responsible for adding/removing memory from that memory region on request. When the device driver starts up, the requested amount of memory is queried and then plugged to Linux. On request, further memory can be plugged or unplugged. This patch only implements the plugging part. On x86-64, memory can currently be plugged in 4MB

This series is based on v5.7-rc4. The patches are located at: https://github.com/davidhildenbrand/linux.git virtio-mem-v4 This is basically a resend of v3 [1], now based on v5.7-rc4 and restested. One patch was reshuffled and two ACKs I missed to add were added. The rebase did not require any modifications to patches. Details about virtio-mem can be found in the cover letter of v2 [2]. A

This series is based on latest linux-next. The patches are located at: https://github.com/davidhildenbrand/linux.git virtio-mem-v2 I now have acks for all !virtio-mem changes. I'll be happy to get review feedback, testing reports, etc. for the virtio-mem changes. If there are no further comments, I guess this is good to go as a v1 soon. The basic idea of virtio-mem is to provide a

virtio-mem adds memory in memory block granularity, to be able to remove it in the same granularity again later, and to grow slowly on demand. This, however, results in quite a lot of resources when adding a lot of memory. Resources are effectively stored in a list-based tree. Having a lot of resources not only wastes memory, it also makes traversing that tree more expensive, and makes /proc/iomem

Long time no RFC! I finally had time to get the next version of the Linux driver side of virtio-mem into shape, incorporating ideas and feedback from previous discussions. This RFC is based on the series currently on the mm list: - [PATCH 0/3] Remove __online_page_set_limits() - [PATCH v1 0/3] mm/memory_hotplug: Export generic_online_page() - [PATCH v4 0/8] mm/memory_hotplug: Shrink zones before

Some add_memory*() users add memory in small, contiguous memory blocks. Examples include virtio-mem, hyper-v balloon, and the XEN balloon. This can quickly result in a lot of memory resources, whereby the actual resource boundaries are not of interest (e.g., it might be relevant for DIMMs, exposed via /proc/iomem to user space). We really want to merge added resources in this scenario where

This is the follow-up of "[PATCH RFCv1 0/5] mm/memory_hotplug: selective merging of memory resources" [1] Some add_memory*() users add memory in small, contiguous memory blocks. Examples include virtio-mem, hyper-v balloon, and the XEN balloon. This can quickly result in a lot of memory resources, whereby the actual resource boundaries are not of interest (e.g., it might be relevant
