This driver is like virtio-balloon on steroids: it allows both changing the
guest memory allocation via ballooning and inserting extra RAM into it by
adding required memory backends and providing them to the driver.

One of advantages of these over ACPI-based PC DIMM hotplug is that such
memory can be hotplugged in much smaller granularity because the ACPI DIMM
slot limit does not apply.

Hot-adding additional memory is done by creating a new memory backend (for
example by executing HMP command
"object_add memory-backend-ram,id=mem1,size=4G"), then executing a new
"hv-balloon-add-memory" QMP command, providing the id of that memory
backend as the "id" parameter.

In contrast with ACPI DIMM hotplug where one can only request to unplug a
whole DIMM stick this driver allows removing memory from guest in single
page (4k) units via ballooning.

After a VM reboot each previously hot-added memory backend gets released.
A "HV_BALLOON_MEMORY_BACKEND_UNUSED" QMP event is emitted in this case so
the software controlling QEMU knows that it either needs to delete that
memory backend (if no longer needed) or re-insert it.

In the future, the guest boot memory size might be changed on reboot
instead, taking into account the effective size that VM had before that
reboot (much like Hyper-V does).

For performance reasons, the guest-released memory is tracked in a few
range trees, as a series of (start, count) ranges.
Each time a new page range is inserted into such tree its neighbors are
checked as candidates for possible merging with it.

Besides performance reasons, the Dynamic Memory protocol itself uses page
ranges as the data structure in its messages, so relevant pages need to be
merged into such ranges anyway.

One has to be careful when tracking the guest-released pages, since the
guest can maliciously report returning pages outside its current address
space, which later clash with the address range of newly added memory.
Similarly, the guest can report freeing the same page twice.

The above design results in much better ballooning performance than when
using virtio-balloon with the same guest: 230 GB / minute with this driver
versus 70 GB / minute with virtio-balloon.

During a ballooning operation most of time is spent waiting for the guest
to come up with newly freed page ranges, processing the received ranges on
the host side (in QEMU and KVM) is nearly instantaneous.

The unballoon operation is also pretty much instantaneous:
thanks to the merging of the ballooned out page ranges 200 GB of memory can
be returned to the guest in about 1 second.
With virtio-balloon this operation takes about 2.5 minutes.

These tests were done against a Windows Server 2019 guest running on a
Xeon E5-2699, after dirtying the whole memory inside guest before each
balloon operation.

Using a range tree instead of a bitmap to track the removed memory also
means that the solution scales well with the guest size: even a 1 TB range
takes just few bytes of memory.

Since the required GTree operations aren't present in every Glib version
a check for them was added to "configure" script, together with new
"--enable-hv-balloon" and "--disable-hv-balloon" arguments.
If these GTree operations are missing in the system's Glib version this
driver will be skipped during QEMU build.

An optional "status-report=on" device parameter requests memory status
events from the guest (typically sent every second), which allow the host
to learn both the guest memory available and the guest memory in use
counts.
They are emitted externally as "HV_BALLOON_STATUS_REPORT" QMP events.

The driver is named hv-balloon since the Linux kernel client driver for
the Dynamic Memory Protocol is named as such and to follow the naming
pattern established by the virtio-balloon driver.
The whole protocol runs over Hyper-V VMBus.

The driver was tested against Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2016
and Windows Server 2016 guests and obeys the guest alignment requirements
reported to the host via DM_CAPABILITIES_REPORT message.

this sounds pretty much like what virtio-mem does, modulo used protocol.
Would it be too crazy ask to reuse virtio-mem by teaching it new protocol
and avoid adding new device with all mgmt hurdles that virtio-mem has
already solved?

There are some main differences between both approaches that make a 1:1 
reuse impossible. As one example, the hv-balloon can operate (inflate) 
on the whole VM memory, which is very different to the virtio-mem model. 
As another example, the hv-balloon does not support variable (large) 
block sizes, and must be able to operate in page granularity IIRC. This 
not only restricts which memory backends we can use, it also means that 
vfio support is rather problematic (just like with virtio-balloon).

So there is more to that than a simple protocol difference and I don't 
think we can simply implement a proxy devices.

But I do think that we would be able to reuse some of the 
ideas/infrastructure virtio-mem implemented: for example, using a single 
large sparse memory region.

IIUC you're saying that the 'hv-balloon-add-memory' command needs
to be re-run after a guest reset ? If so I feel that is a rather
undesirable job to punt over the mgmt app. The 'reset' event can
be missed if the mgmt app happend to be restarting and reconnecting
to existing running QMP console.

Is that difficult to do right now ?  It isn't too nice to make the
mgmt apps implement the workaround now if we're going to make it
redundant later.

That's pretty impressive !

Funnily enough there's a patch posted recently that imports the glib
GTree impl into QEMU calling it QTree. This was to workaround a problem
with GSlice not being async signal safe, but if we take that patch, then
you wouldn't need to skip the build you could rely on this in-tree copy
instead.

There is a reply from Igor about possibility of sharing code with
virtio-mem. I also wonder if there's any scope for sharing with
the virtio-balloon driver too, in terms of the QAPI schema.

I've not looked closely enough to say if its possible to not, so
if not practical, no worries.

With regards,
Daniel

Yes.

See the answer below the next paragraph.

The v1 of this driver did re-add memory backends automatically after
a reboot, so if that's something that is desirable it can be re-introduced
without much difficulty.

The issue here is that the guest might never re-connect to the DM protocol
interface after a reboot (perhaps because the VM was rebooted from
a Windows to a Linux guest).
In this case the driver would wait endlessly, not letting the
underlying memory backends to be removed.

virtio-mem also seems to unplug all blocks unconditionally when the VM is
rebooted.

On the other hand, actually resizing the guest boot memory is definitely
not trivial - for sure that's something for future work
(virtio-mem might also benefit from it).

Thanks!

Thanks for the pointer, however the {G,Q}Tree import explicitly excludes
these tree operations that this driver needs (as they currently don't
have any callers in QEMU).

So in this case either they would have to be imported too or the driver
would need QEMU being built with the upstream Glib (as far as I can see,
[1] says this will still be possible with glib >= 2.76.0).

Thanks,
Maciej
