similar to: [PATCH] GSoC 2010 - Memory hotplug support for Xen guests - third fully working version

Hi, I am sending this e-mail once again because it probably has been lost in abyss of Xen-devel/LKLM list. Here is the second version of memory hotplug support for Xen guests patch. This one cleanly applies to git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git repository, xen/memory-hotplug head. Changes: - /sys/devices/system/memory/probe interface has been removed;

Enhance adjust_managed_page_count() to adjust totalhigh_pages for highmem pages. And change code which directly adjusts totalram_pages to use adjust_managed_page_count() because it adjusts totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and zone->managed_pages altogether in a safe way. Remove inc_totalhigh_pages() and dec_totalhigh_pages() from xen/balloon driver bacause adjust_managed_page_count() has

Attached patch makes the balloon driver arch-neutral (compiles on ia64... look ma, no #ifdef''s!). Please apply to xen-unstable. One change should be eyeballed, line 257 in balloon.c, because phys_to_machine_mapping[pfn] is not identical to pfn_to_mfn (different by sign bit, should be OK?)

Add an highmem parameter to alloc_xenballooned_pages, to allow callers to request lowmem or highmem pages.

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

This is the follow up of [1]: [PATCH v1 0/3] mm/memory_hotplug: Make virtio-mem play nicely with kexec-tools I realized that this is not only helpful for virtio-mem, but also for dax/kmem - it's a fix for that use case (see patch #3) of persistent memory. Also, while testing, I discovered that kexec-tools will *not* add dax/kmem memory (anything not directly under the root when parsing

This series is based on [1]: [PATCH v2 00/10] virtio-mem: paravirtualized memory That will hopefull get picked up soon, rebased to -next. The following patches were reverted from -next [2]: [PATCH 0/3] kexec/memory_hotplug: Prevent removal and accidental use As discussed in that thread, they should be reverted from -next already. In theory, if people agree, we could take the first two patches
