2011-12-06qapi: Convert balloonLuiz Capitulino1-3/+0
Note that the command being dropped uses the deprecated MONITOR_CMD_ASYNC API, but the new command is a regular synchronous command. There shouldn't be visible differences though, as MONITOR_CMD_ASYNC is internal only. Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@redhat.com>
2011-10-27qapi: Convert query-balloonLuiz Capitulino1-4/+2
Please, note that some of the code supporting memory statistics is still around (eg. virtio_balloon_receive_stats() and reset_stats()). Also, the qmp_query_balloon() function is synchronous and thus doesn't make any use of the (not fully working) monitor's asynchronous command support (the old non-qapi implementation did).

2011-08-04balloon: Separate out stat and balloon handlingAmit Shah1-3/+5
Passing on '0' as ballooning target to indicate retrieval of stats is bad API. It also makes 'balloon 0' in the monitor cause a segfault. Have two different functions handle the different functionality instead. Detailed explanation from Markus's review: 1. do_info_balloon() is an info_async() method. It receives a callback with argument, to be called exactly once (callback frees the argument). It passes the callback via qemu_balloon_status() and indirectly through qemu_balloon_event to virtio_balloon_to_target(). virtio_balloon_to_target() executes its balloon stats half. It stores the callback in the device state. If it can't send a stats request, it resets stats and calls the callback right away. Else, it sends a stats request. The device model runs the callback when it receives the answer. Works. 2. do_balloon() is a cmd_async() method. It receives a callback with argument, to be called when the command completes. do_balloon() calls it right before it succeeds. Odd, but should work. Nevertheless, it passes the callback on via qemu_ballon() and indirectly through qemu_balloon_event to virtio_balloon_to_target(). a. If the argument is non-zero, virtio_balloon_to_target() executes its balloon half, which doesn't use the callback in any way. Odd, but works. b. If the argument is zero, virtio_balloon_to_target() executes its balloon stats half, just like in 1. It either calls the callback right away, or arranges for it to be called later. Thus, the callback runs twice: use after free and double free. Test case: start with -S -device virtio-balloon, execute "balloon 0" in human monitor. Runs the callback first from virtio_balloon_to_target(), then again from do_balloon().

2010-01-26virtio: Add memory statistics reporting to the balloon driverAdam Litke1-3/+4
When using ballooning to manage overcommitted memory on a host, a system for guests to communicate their memory usage to the host can provide information that will minimize the impact of ballooning on the guests. The current method employs a daemon running in each guest that communicates memory statistics to a host daemon at a specified time interval. The host daemon aggregates this information and inflates and/or deflates balloons according to the level of host memory pressure. This approach is effective but overly complex since a daemon must be installed inside each guest and coordinated to communicate with the host. A simpler approach is to collect memory statistics in the virtio balloon driver and communicate them directly to the hypervisor.

2009-10-01Revert "Get rid of _t suffix"Anthony Liguori1-3/+3
In the very least, a change like this requires discussion on the list. The naming convention is goofy and it causes a massive merge problem. Something like this _must_ be presented on the list first so people can provide input and cope with it. This reverts commit 99a0949b720a0936da2052cb9a46db04ffc6db29.
