similar to: [PATCH] kvm guest balloon driver

Hi Rusty, It was agreed that the balloon driver should be merged through the virtio tree, so here it goes. It depends on the config_changed patch posted earlier. ----- Following patch adds the KVM balloon driver. Changes from last version: - Get rid of global variables/structure - Use page->lru to link ballooned pages - Use dev_dbg/dev_printk - Proper kthread_should_stop handling - Move

This implementation of a virtio balloon driver uses the page cache to "store" pages that have been released to the host. The communication (outside of target counts) is one way--the guest notifies the host when it adds a page to the page cache, allowing the host to madvise(2) with MADV_DONTNEED. Reclaim in the guest is therefore automatic and implicit (via the regular page reclaim).

pagecache for pages above lower limit but that is a separate question about driver design, I would like to make sure I understand the high level design first. > > > > Note that users could not care less about how a driver > > is implemented internally. > > > > Is there some workload where you see VM working better with > > this than regular balloon?
