[RFC PATCH 2/2] vmrd: add implementation of memory plugin interfaces

From: Sudarshan Rajagopalan
Date: Tue Aug 01 2023 - 16:49:04 EST


Implementation of memory plugin interfaces such as memory_plug_request,
memory_unplug_request etc. using virtio_mem kernel driver.

The userspace daemon makes ioctl calls to kernel requesting for adding/
removing memory to the VM. The size request is aligned to virtio-mem
device size. Modified version of virtio-mem driver is used that supports
memory_on_hotplug feature and add/remove memory requests via ioctl calls.
Link to the ioctl handling function is below:
https://git.codelinaro.org/clo/la/kernel/msm-5.15/-/blob/kernel.lnx.5.15.r33-rel/drivers/virtio/qti_virtio_mem.c#L185
modified virtio-mem driver: https://git.codelinaro.org/clo/la/kernel/msm-5.15/-/blob/kernel.lnx.5.15.r33-rel/drivers/virtio/virtio_mem.c

We use a kernel driver called mem-buf for communication between the VMs.
The memory plug request by virtio-mem is made by calling mem_buf_alloc each of
virtio-mem block size iteratively to accommodate the requested size.
https://git.codelinaro.org/clo/la/kernel/msm-5.15/-/blob/kernel.lnx.5.15.r33-rel/drivers/virtio/virtio_mem.c#L1373

The mem-buf driver uses to Linux Gunyah driver (mem_buf_map_mem_s2) to
communicate with Hypervisor requesting to map the memory into S2 page-tables.
This is currently tested only on Gunyah Hypervisor and not on other Hypervisors.
mem_buf_map_mem_s2: https://git.codelinaro.org/clo/la/kernel/msm-5.15/-/blob/kernel.lnx.5.15.r33-rel/drivers/soc/qcom/mem_buf/mem-buf-dev-gh.c#L207

The daemon also gets virtio-mem device configuration details such as
device_bloc_size, max_threshold of resizing the VM etc. from the kernel
via sysfs nodes of virtio-mem device.
