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

28 bool "Memory hotplug support for Xen balloon driver"
29 depends on XEN_BALLOON && MEMORY_HOTPLUG
30 help
31 Memory hotplug support for Xen balloon driver allows expanding memory
32 available for the system above limit declared at system startup.
33 It is very useful on critical systems which require long
34 run without rebooting.
35
36 Memory could be hotplugged in following steps:
37
38 1) target domain: ensure that memory auto online policy is in
39 effect by checking /sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks
40 file (should be 'online').
41
42 2) control domain: xl mem-max <target-domain> <maxmem>
43 where <maxmem> is >= requested memory size,
44
45 3) control domain: xl mem-set <target-domain> <memory>
46 where <memory> is requested memory size; alternatively memory
47 could be added by writing proper value to
48 /sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/target or
49 /sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/target_kb on the
50 target domain.
51
52 Alternatively, if memory auto onlining was not requested at step 1
53 the newly added memory can be manually onlined in the target domain
54 by doing the following:
55
56 for i in /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/state; do \
57 [ "`cat "$i"`" = offline ] && echo online > "$i"; done
58
59 or by adding the following line to udev rules:
60
61 SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/bin/sh -c '[ -f /sys$devpath/state ] && echo online > /sys$devpath/state'"

85 Scrub pages before returning them to the system for reuse by
86 other domains. This makes sure that any confidential data
87 is not accidentally visible to other domains. It is more
88 secure, but slightly less efficient. This can be controlled with
89 xen_scrub_pages=0 parameter and
90 /sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/scrub_pages.

182 driver in that proper memory reservation is made by
183 ({increase|decrease}_reservation and VA mappings are updated if
184 needed).
185 This is useful for sharing foreign buffers with HW drivers which
186 cannot work with scattered buffers provided by the balloon driver,

207 The PCI device backend driver allows the kernel to export arbitrary

209 will need to make sure no other driver has bound to the device(s)
210 you want to make visible to other guests.

212 The parameter "passthrough" allows you specify how you want the PCI
213 devices to appear in the guest. You can choose the default (0) where
214 PCI topology starts at 00.00.0, or (1) for passthrough if you want
215 the PCI devices topology appear the same as in the host.
216
217 The "hide" parameter (only applicable if backend driver is compiled
218 into the kernel) allows you to bind the PCI devices to this module
219 from the default device drivers. The argument is the list of PCI BDFs:
