virtio-balloon: add support for page poison reporting and free page reporting
v23 cover virtio-balloon: add support for page poison reporting and free page reporting
This series provides an asynchronous means of reporting free guest pages to QEMU through virtio-balloon so that the memory associated with those pages can be dropped and reused by other processes and/or guests on the host. Using this it is possible to avoid unnecessary I/O to disk and greatly improve performance in the case of memory overcommit on the host.
I originally submitted this patch series back on February 11th 2020[1], but at that time I was focused primarily on the kernel portion of this patch set. However as of April 7th those patches are now included in Linus's kernel tree[2] and so I am submitting the QEMU pieces for inclusion.

Changes from v17:
Fixed typo in patch 1 title
Addressed white-space issues reported via checkpatch Added braces {} for two if statements to match expected coding style
Changes from v18:
Updated patches 2 and 3 based on input from dhildenb
Added comment to patch 2 describing what keeps us from reporting a bad page Added patch to address issue with ROM devices being directly writable
Changes from v19:
Added std-headers change to match changes pushed for linux kernel headers Added patch to remove "report" from page hinting code paths Updated comment to better explain why we disable hints w/ page poisoning Removed code that was modifying config size for poison vs hinting Dropped x-page-poison property
Added code to bounds check the reported region vs the RAM block Dropped patch for ROM devices as that was already pulled in by Paolo
Changes from v20:
Rearranged patches to push Linux header sync patches to front Removed association between free page hinting and VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_PAGE_POISON Added code to enable VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_PAGE_POISON if page reporting is enabled Fixed possible resource leak if poison or qemu_balloon_is_inhibited return true
Changes from v21:
Added ack for patch 3
Rewrote patch description for page poison reporting feature Made page-poison independent property and set to enabled by default Added logic to migrate poison_val
Added several comments in code to better explain features Switched free-page-reporting property to disabled by default
Changes from v22:
Added ack for patches 4 & 5
Added additional comment fixes in patch 3 to remove "reporting" reference Renamed rvq in patch 5 to reporting_vq to improve readability Moved call adding reporting_vq to after free_page_vq to fix VQ ordering

PATCH v23 3/5 virtio-balloon: Replace free page hinting references to 'report' with 'hint'
In reply to Alexander DuyckFrom: Alexander Duyck <[email protected]>
In an upcoming patch a feature named Free Page Reporting is about to be added. In order to avoid any confusion we should drop the use of the word 'report' when referring to Free Page Hinting. So what this patch does is go through and replace all instances of 'report' with 'hint" when we are referring to free page hinting.

PATCH v23 4/5 virtio-balloon: Implement support for page poison reporting feature
In reply to Alexander DuyckFrom: Alexander Duyck <[email protected]>
We need to make certain to advertise support for page poison reporting if we want to actually get data on if the guest will be poisoning pages.
Add a value for reporting the poison value being used if page poisoning is enabled in the guest. With this we can determine if we will need to skip free page reporting when it is enabled in the future.
The value currently has no impact on existing balloon interfaces. In the case of existing balloon interfaces the onus is on the guest driver to reapply whatever poison is in place.
When we add free page reporting the poison value is used to determine if we can perform in-place page reporting. The expectation is that a reported page will already contain the value specified by the poison, and the reporting of the page should not change that value.

PATCH v23 5/5 virtio-balloon: Provide an interface for free page reporting
In reply to Alexander DuyckFrom: Alexander Duyck <[email protected]>
Add support for free page reporting. The idea is to function very similar to how the balloon works in that we basically end up madvising the page as not being used. However we don't really need to bother with any deflate type logic since the page will be faulted back into the guest when it is read or written to.
This provides a new way of letting the guest proactively report free pages to the hypervisor, so the hypervisor can reuse them. In contrast to inflate/deflate that is triggered via the hypervisor explicitly.

I just wanted to follow up since it has been a little over a week since I submitted this and I haven't heard anything back. It looks like the linux-headers patches can be dropped since the headers appear to have been synced. I was wondering if I should resubmit with just the 3 patches that are adding the functionality, or if this patch-set is good as-is?
Thanks.

I just wanted to follow up since it has been a little over a week since I submitted this and I haven't heard anything back. It looks like the linux-headers patches can be dropped since the headers appear to have been synced. I was wondering if I should resubmit with just the 3 patches that are adding the functionality, or if this patch-set is good as-is?
Should be good as-is. However, if the new compat machines are already upstream, you might want to tackle that right away.
Cheers and have a nice weekend!

Using this it is possible to avoid unnecessary I/O to disk and greatly improve performance in the case of memory overcommit on the host.
I originally submitted this patch series back on February 11th 2020[1], but at that time I was focused primarily on the kernel portion of this patch set. However as of April 7th those patches are now included in Linus's kernel tree[2] and so I am submitting the QEMU pieces for inclusion.
