- FRONTSWAP is highly recommended; if it is not configured, self-
- ballooning is disabled by default. If FRONTSWAP is configured,

- with the 'tmem.selfshrink=0' kernel boot parameter; and self-ballooning
- is enabled by default but can be disabled with the 'tmem.selfballooning=0'

- default n
depends on XEN_BALLOON && MEMORY_HOTPLUG

help
Memory hotplug support for Xen balloon driver allows expanding memory
available for the system above limit declared at system startup.
It is very useful on critical systems which require long
run without rebooting.
+ It's also very useful for non PV domains to obtain unpopulated physical
+ memory ranges to use in order to map foreign memory or grants.
+
Memory could be hotplugged in following steps:
- 1) dom0: xl mem-max <domU> <maxmem>
+ 1) target domain: ensure that memory auto online policy is in
+ effect by checking /sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks
+ file (should be 'online').
+
+ 2) control domain: xl mem-max <target-domain> <maxmem>
where <maxmem> is >= requested memory size,
- 2) dom0: xl mem-set <domU> <memory>
+ 3) control domain: xl mem-set <target-domain> <memory>
where <memory> is requested memory size; alternatively memory
could be added by writing proper value to
/sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/target or
- /sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/target_kb on dumU,
+ /sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/target_kb on the
+ target domain.
- 3) domU: for i in /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/state; do \
- [ "`cat "$i"`" = offline ] && echo online > "$i"; done
+ Alternatively, if memory auto onlining was not requested at step 1
+ the newly added memory can be manually onlined in the target domain
+ by doing the following:
- Memory could be onlined automatically on domU by adding following line to udev rules:
+ for i in /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/state; do \
+ [ "`cat "$i"`" = offline ] && echo online > "$i"; done
+
+ or by adding the following line to udev rules:
SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/bin/sh -c '[ -f /sys$devpath/state ] && echo online > /sys$devpath/state'"
- In that case step 3 should be omitted.
