[RESEND PATCH v3 kernel 0/7] Extend virtio-balloon for fast (de)inflating & fast live migration
This patch set contains two parts of changes to the virtio-balloon. One is the change for speeding up the inflating & deflating process, the main idea of this optimization is to use bitmap to send the page information to host instead of the PFNs, to reduce the overhead of virtio data transmission, address translation and madvise(). This can help to improve the performance by about 85%. Another change is for speeding up live migration. By skipping process guest's free pages in the first round of data copy, to reduce needless data processing, this can help to save quite a lot of CPU cycles and network bandwidth. We put guest's free page information in bitmap and send it to host with the virt queue of virtio-balloon. For an idle 8GB guest, this can help to shorten the total live migration time from 2Sec to about 500ms in the 10Gbps network environment. Dave Hansen suggested a new scheme to encode the data structure, because of additional complexity, it's not implemented in v3. Changes from v2 to v3: * Change the name of 'free page' to 'unused page'. * Use the scatter & gather bitmap instead of a 1MB page bitmap. * Fix overwriting the page bitmap after kicking. * Some of MST's comments for v2. Changes from v1 to v2: * Abandon the patch for dropping page cache. * Put some structures to uapi head file. * Use a new way to determine the page bitmap size. * Use a unified way to send the free page information with the bitmap * Address the issues referred in MST's comments Liang Li (7): virtio-balloon: rework deflate to add page to a list virtio-balloon: define new feature bit and page bitmap head mm: add a function to get the max pfn virtio-balloon: speed up inflate/deflate process mm: add the related functions to get unused page virtio-balloon: define feature bit and head for misc virt queue virtio-balloon: tell host vm's unused page info drivers/virtio/virtio_balloon.c | 390 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- include/linux/mm.h | 3 + include/uapi/linux/virtio_balloon.h | 41 ++++ mm/page_alloc.c | 94 +++++++++ 4 files changed, 485 insertions(+), 43 deletions(-) -- 1.8.3.1

[RESEND PATCH v3 kernel 4/7] virtio-balloon: speed up inflate/deflate process
The implementation of the current virtio-balloon is not very efficient, the time spends on different stages of inflating the balloon to 7GB of a 8GB idle guest: a. allocating pages (6.5%) b. sending PFNs to host (68.3%) c. address translation (6.1%) d. madvise (19%) It takes about 4126ms for the inflating process to complete. Debugging shows that the bottle neck are the stage b and stage d. If using a bitmap to send the page info instead of the PFNs, we can reduce the overhead in stage b quite a lot. Furthermore, we can do the address translation and call madvise() with a bulk of RAM pages, instead of the current page per page way, the overhead of stage c and stage d can also be reduced a lot. This patch is the kernel side implementation which is intended to speed up the inflating & deflating process by adding a new feature to the virtio-balloon device. With this new feature, inflating the balloon to 7GB of a 8GB idle guest only takes 590ms, the performance improvement is about 85%.

[RESEND PATCH v3 kernel 6/7] virtio-balloon: define feature bit and head for misc virt queue
Define a new feature bit which supports a new virtual queue. This new virtual qeuque is for information exchange between hypervisor and guest. The VMM hypervisor can make use of this virtual queue to request the guest do some operations, e.g. drop page cache, synchronize file system, etc. And the VMM hypervisor can get some of guest's runtime information through this virtual queue, e.g. the guest's unused page information, which can be used for live migration optimization.

The main issue is more memory is required to save the 'hybrid scheme bitmap' beside that used to save the raw page bitmap, for the worst case, the memory required is 3 times than that in the previous implementation. I am wondering if I should continue, as an alternative solution, how about using PFNs array when inflating/deflating only a few pages? Things will be much more simple. Thanks! Liang
