This is a continuation of the v5 of the patch series located here:
https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/cover.1686577753.git.maciej.szmigiero@oracle.com/


Changes from v5:
* Incorporate David's rework of the driver on top of his virtio-mem-memslots
patches (specifically, commit 6769107d1a4f), making use of a memory region
container created upfront to avoid calling memory_device{,_pre}_plug()
functions from the driver and introducing a driver-specific MemoryDeviceInfo
sub-type.

* Include two additional David's memory-device patches necessary for the
aforementioned conversion in this patch set.

* Use multiple memslots to cover the hot-add memory backend in order to
reduce metadata size for the not-yet-hot-added part of the memory backend.

* Add David's "Co-developed-by:" to patches where he contributed some changes.

* Use OBJECT_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_INTERFACES() and OBJECT_DECLARE_SIMPLE_TYPE()
macros instead of open-coding the equivalent functionality.

* Drop no longer necessary patch adding g_autoptr() cleanup function for the
Error type.


David Hildenbrand (2):
  memory-device: Support empty memory devices
  memory-device: Drop size alignment check

Maciej S. Szmigiero (4):
  Add Hyper-V Dynamic Memory Protocol definitions
  qapi: Add HvBalloonDeviceInfo sub-type to MemoryDeviceInfo
  qapi: Add HV_BALLOON_STATUS_REPORT event
  Add a Hyper-V Dynamic Memory Protocol driver (hv-balloon)

Doesn't apply to master.  Care to rebase?

The series is now based on David's virtio-mem-memslots patches
(specifically, commit 6769107d1a4f from [1]) since it depends
on support for exposing device memory via multiple memslots
provided by that series.

I'm sorry if that wasn't clear from the cover letter.

Thanks,
Maciej

Aha!  I just fetched David's branch, applied your patches on top, and
rebased to current master.

I recommend to list dependencies like

    Based-on: <message-id>

so Patchew applies them.

Didn't know that notation, thanks for point this out.
Will use it in the future version(s).

We're now in QEMU soft-freeze, which means the memslot series might take 
a bit to land. I'm going to follow-up on that soonish.

That is still a gigantic patch. Is there any way to split that into 
reasonable chunks? For example, move the whole hotplug/memslot part into
a dedicated patch?

See below on splitting off the PC changes.

It's probably best to separate the actual device implementation from 
wiring up the machine. That is, have a HV_BALLOON_SUPPORTED kconfig
(like VIRTIO_MEM_SUPPORTED), and activate that in a single commit for
PC, where you also modify hw/i386/pc.c.

That commit would be called something like "pc: Support hv-balloon".

Furthermore, try to factor out stuff related to QMP:

0. The driver with QMP stuff omitted / stubbed out

1. Enable query-memory-devices

2. Add HV_BALLOON_STATUS_REPORT event

Ack, [1] even says that we're in a hard-freeze already.

Will move hot-add support from the initial driver patch to a separate one.

If I remove the driver from Kconfig in the initial patch then AFAIK
this initial patch will add a dead driver file that it is not possible
to build yet, right?

Or is there some configure-time override for lack of specific Kconfig option?

Thanks,
Maciej

Yes, that's also what we did for virtio-mem:

(bottom to top)

0ed48fd32e pc: Support for virtio-mem-pci
16647a8224 numa: Handle virtio-mem in NUMA stats
2e70874b16 hmp: Handle virtio-mem when printing memory device info
751c7bdd04 MAINTAINERS: Add myself as virtio-mem maintainer
0b9a2443a4 virtio-pci: Proxy for virtio-mem
910b25766b virtio-mem: Paravirtualized memory hot(un)plug

And virtio-pmem:

(bottom to top)

a0a49813f7 pc: Support for virtio-pmem-pci
cae02c3480 numa: Handle virtio-pmem in NUMA stats
d766b22bbd hmp: Handle virtio-pmem when printing memory device infos
adf0748a49 virtio-pci: Proxy for virtio-pmem
9f583bdd47 virtio-pmem: sync linux headers
5f503cd9f3 virtio-pmem: add virtio device


As you're adding all in a single series, that's perfectly fine.
