Surprisingly, I can reproduce even by hotplugging a DIMM instead as well - that's good, so it's not related to virtio-mem, lol. Seems to be some QEMU setup issue with older machine types. Can you switch to a newer qemu machine version,

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

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.

Btw, I am thinking about the following addition to the concept: 1. Add a type to each virtio-mem device. This describes the type of the memory region we expose to the guest. Initially, we could have RAM and RAM_HUGE. The latter one would be interesting, because the guest would know that this memory is based on huge pages in case we would ever want to expose different RAM types to a guest (the

The deflation request to the target, which isn't unaligned to the guest page size causes endless deflation and inflation actions. For example, we receive the flooding QMP events for the changes on memory balloon's size after a deflation request to the unaligned target is sent for the ARM64 guest, where we have 64KB base page size. /home/gavin/sandbox/qemu.main/build/qemu-system-aarch64

Hi David, I love your patch! Yet something to improve: [auto build test ERROR on pm/linux-next] [also build test ERROR on linus/master v5.6-rc4 next-20200302] [cannot apply to linux/master mmotm/master] [if your patch is applied to the wrong git tree, please drop us a note to help improve the system. BTW, we also suggest to use '--base' option to specify the base tree in git

The deflation request to the target, which isn't unaligned to the guest page size causes endless deflation and inflation actions.

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
