...moved - once a file had an mlocked vma all future pages added to it will stay stable. To complete the picture make_pages_present has to check for the host page state besides making the pages present in the linux page table. This is done by a call to get_user_pages with a pages parameter. Since the VM_LOCKED bit of the vma will be set prior to the call to get_user_pages an additional check is needed in the try_to_unmap_one function. If get_user_pages finds a discarded page it needs to remove the page from the page cache and all page tables dispite the fact that VM_LOCKED is set. After get_user_pages is...

Its output is valuable (for VM introspection) so I want to let the host module know about it. I prefer to redirect ' stdio" of a guest into a device

Greetings, after Carsten pitched CMM2 on the kvm mini summit here is a repost of version 5 of the guest page hinting patches. The code is still the same but has been adapted to the latest git level. -- blue skies, Martin. "Reality continues to ruin my life." - Calvin.

After way to many months here is the fifth version of the guest page hinting patches. Compared to version four a few improvements have been added: - Avoid page_host_discards() calls outside of page-states.h - The discard list is now implemented via the page_free_discarded hook and architecture specific code. - PG_state_change page flag has been replaced with architecture specficic

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
