the system to expand the domain's memory allocation, or alternatively

return unneeded memory to the system.

Self-ballooning dynamically balloons available kernel memory driven
|
|
by the current usage of anonymous memory ("committed AS") and
|
|
controlled by various sysfs-settable parameters. Configuring
|
|
FRONTSWAP is highly recommended; if it is not configured, self-
|
|
ballooning is disabled by default but can be enabled with the
|
|
'selfballooning' kernel boot parameter. If FRONTSWAP is configured,
|
|
frontswap-selfshrinking is enabled by default but can be disabled
|
|
with the 'noselfshrink' kernel boot parameter; and self-ballooning
|
|
is enabled by default but can be disabled with the 'noselfballooning'
|
|
kernel boot parameter. Note that systems without a sufficiently
|
|
large swap device should not enable self-ballooning.

|
|
help
|
|
Memory hotplug support for Xen balloon driver allows expanding memory
|
|
available for the system above limit declared at system startup.
|
|
It is very useful on critical systems which require long
|
|
run without rebooting.
|
|
|
|
Memory could be hotplugged in following steps:
|
|
|
|
1) dom0: xl mem-max <domU> <maxmem>
|
|
where <maxmem> is >= requested memory size,
|
|
|
|
2) dom0: xl mem-set <domU> <memory>
|
|
where <memory> is requested memory size; alternatively memory
|
|
could be added by writing proper value to
|
|
/sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/target or
|
|
/sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/target_kb on dumU,
|
|
|
|
3) domU: for i in /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/state; do \
|
|
[ "`cat "$i"`" = offline ] && echo online > "$i"; done
|
|
|
|
Memory could be onlined automatically on domU by adding following line to udev rules:
|
|
|
|
SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/bin/sh -c '[ -f /sys$devpath/state ] && echo online > /sys$devpath/state'"
|
|
|
|
In that case step 3 should be omitted.

The xen filesystem provides a way for domains to share

information with each other and with the hypervisor.

For example, by reading and writing the "xenbus" file, guests

may pass arbitrary information to the initial domain.

The old xenstore userspace tools expect to find "xenbus"

the compatibility mount point /proc/xen if it is running on

a xen platform.

If in doubt, say yes.

The PCI device backend driver allows the kernel to export arbitrary
|
|
PCI devices to other guests. If you select this to be a module, you
|
|
will need to make sure no other driver has bound to the device(s)
|
|
you want to make visible to other guests.
|
|
|
|
The parameter "passthrough" allows you specify how you want the PCI
|
|
devices to appear in the guest. You can choose the default (0) where
|
|
PCI topology starts at 00.00.0, or (1) for passthrough if you want
|
|
the PCI devices topology appear the same as in the host.
|
|
|
|
The "hide" parameter (only applicable if backend driver is compiled
|
|
into the kernel) allows you to bind the PCI devices to this module
|
|
from the default device drivers. The argument is the list of PCI BDFs:
|
|
xen-pciback.hide=(03:00.0)(04:00.0)
|
|
|
|
If in doubt, say m.
