As the 'tmem' driver is the one that actually sets whether it will use it (or not) so might as well make tmem responsible for this knob. Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>

Self-ballooning dynamically balloons available kernel memory driven
|
|
by the current usage of anonymous memory ("committed AS") and
|
|
controlled by various sysfs-settable parameters. Configuring
|
|
FRONTSWAP is highly recommended; if it is not configured, self-
|
|
ballooning is disabled by default. If FRONTSWAP is configured,
|
|
frontswap-selfshrinking is enabled by default but can be disabled
|
|
with the 'tmem.selfshrink=0' kernel boot parameter; and self-ballooning
|
|
is enabled by default but can be disabled with the 'tmem.selfballooning=0'
|
|
kernel boot parameter. Note that systems without a sufficiently
|
|
large swap device should not enable self-ballooning.

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.
|
|
|
|
Memory could be hotplugged in following steps:
|
|
|
|
1) dom0: xl mem-max <domU> <maxmem>
|
|
where <maxmem> is >= requested memory size,
|
|
|
|
2) dom0: xl mem-set <domU> <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,
|
|
|
|
3) domU: for i in /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/state; do \
|
|
[ "`cat "$i"`" = offline ] && echo online > "$i"; done
|
|
|
|
Memory could be onlined automatically on domU by adding 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.

The PCI device backend driver allows the kernel to export arbitrary
|
|
PCI devices to other guests. If you select this to be a module, you
|
|
will need to make sure no other driver has bound to the device(s)
|
|
you want to make visible to other guests.
|
|
|
|
The parameter "passthrough" allows you specify how you want the PCI
|
|
devices to appear in the guest. You can choose the default (0) where
|
|
PCI topology starts at 00.00.0, or (1) for passthrough if you want
|
|
the PCI devices topology appear the same as in the host.
|
|
|
|
The "hide" parameter (only applicable if backend driver is compiled
|
|
into the kernel) allows you to bind the PCI devices to this module
|
|
from the default device drivers. The argument is the list of PCI BDFs:
|
|
xen-pciback.hide=(03:00.0)(04:00.0)
|

If in doubt, say m.
