[PATCH RESEND 0/6] Drivers: hv

From: K. Y. Srinivasan
Date: Thu Mar 14 2013 - 16:09:08 EST


This patch set enhances the balloon driver functionality to add support
for memory "hot-add". Windows hosts use a combination of ballooning and
hot-add to dynamically balance the available memory across competing virtual
machines. With this, Linux guests can fully participate in the Windows
Dynamic Memory protocol.

Additionally, I have also fixed an issue in the Vmbus driver in the way
the offer rescind message is handled.

Only one of the patches being resent has been modified from the previous version
sent out a few days ago. This is the patch that adds hot-add functionality:
[PATCH RESEND 5/6] Drivers: hv: balloon: Implement hot-add functionality

In this version of this patch, the balloon driver can be deployed on Linux
instances that don't support MEMORY_HOTPLUG.

K. Y. Srinivasan (6):
Drivers: hv: balloon: Do not request completion notification
Drivers: hv: balloon: Execute balloon inflation in a separate context
Drivers: hv: balloon: Execute hot-add code in a separate context
Drivers: hv: balloon: Make the balloon driver not unloadable
Drivers: hv: balloon: Implement hot-add functionality
Drivers: hv: vmbus: Handle channel rescind message correctly
