virtio: balloon driver After discussions with Anthony Liguori, it seems that the virtio balloon can be made even simpler. Here's my attempt. The device configuration tells the driver how much memory it should take from the guest (ie. balloon size). The guest feeds the page numbers it has taken via one virtqueue. A second virtqueue feeds the page numbers the driver wants back: if the device has the VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_MUST_TELL_HOST bit, then this queue is compulsory, otherwise it's advisory (and the guest can simply fault the pages back in). This driver can be enhanced later to deflate the balloon via a shrinker, oom callback or we could even go for a complete set of in-guest regulators.

virtio: clarify that ABI is usable by any implementations We want others to implement and use virtio, so it makes sense to BSD license the non-__KERNEL__ parts of the headers to make this crystal clear.

virtio: avoid implicit use of Linux page size in balloon interface Make the balloon interface always use 4K pages, and convert Linux pfns if necessary. This patch assumes that Linux's PAGE_SHIFT will never be less than 12. Signed-off-by: Hollis Blanchard <hollisb@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> (modified)
