VMware Balloon driver This is a standalone version of VMware Balloon driver. Ballooning is a technique that allows hypervisor dynamically limit the amount of memory available to the guest (with guest cooperation). In the overcommit scenario, when hypervisor set detects that it needs to shuffle some memory, it instructs the driver to allocate certain number of pages, and the underlying memory gets returned to the hypervisor. Later hypervisor may return memory to the guest by reattaching memory to the pageframes and instructing the driver to "deflate" balloon. We are submitting a standalone driver because KVM maintainer (Avi Kivity) expressed opinion (rightly) that our transport does not fit well into virtqueue paradigm and thus it does not make much sense to integrate with virtio. There were also some concerns whether current ballooning technique is the right thing. If there appears a better framework to achieve this we are prepared to evaluate and switch to using it, but in the meantime we'd like to get this driver upstream. We want to get the driver accepted in distributions so that users do not have to deal with an out-of-tree module and many distributions have "upstream first" requirement. The driver has been shipping for a number of years and users running on VMware platform will have it installed as part of VMware Tools even if it will not come from a distribution, thus there should not be additional risk in pulling the driver into mainline. The driver will only activate if host is VMware so everyone else should not be affected at all.

* This is VMware physical memory management driver for Linux. The driver
* acts like a "balloon" that can be inflated to reclaim physical pages by
* reserving them in the guest and invalidating them in the monitor,
* freeing up the underlying machine pages so they can be allocated to
* other guests. The balloon can also be deflated to allow the guest to
* use more physical memory. Higher level policies can control the sizes
* of balloons in VMs in order to manage physical memory resources.

VMware Balloon driver This is a standalone version of VMware Balloon driver. Ballooning is a technique that allows hypervisor dynamically limit the amount of memory available to the guest (with guest cooperation). In the overcommit scenario, when hypervisor set detects that it needs to shuffle some memory, it instructs the driver to allocate certain number of pages, and the underlying memory gets returned to the hypervisor. Later hypervisor may return memory to the guest by reattaching memory to the pageframes and instructing the driver to "deflate" balloon. We are submitting a standalone driver because KVM maintainer (Avi Kivity) expressed opinion (rightly) that our transport does not fit well into virtqueue paradigm and thus it does not make much sense to integrate with virtio. There were also some concerns whether current ballooning technique is the right thing. If there appears a better framework to achieve this we are prepared to evaluate and switch to using it, but in the meantime we'd like to get this driver upstream. We want to get the driver accepted in distributions so that users do not have to deal with an out-of-tree module and many distributions have "upstream first" requirement.

VMware Balloon driver This is a standalone version of VMware Balloon driver. Ballooning is a technique that allows hypervisor dynamically limit the amount of memory available to the guest (with guest cooperation). In the overcommit scenario, when hypervisor set detects that it needs to shuffle some memory, it instructs the driver to allocate certain number of pages, and the underlying memory gets returned to the hypervisor. Later hypervisor may return memory to the guest by reattaching memory to the pageframes and instructing the driver to "deflate" balloon. We are submitting a standalone driver because KVM maintainer (Avi Kivity) expressed opinion (rightly) that our transport does not fit well into virtqueue paradigm and thus it does not make much sense to integrate with virtio. There were also some concerns whether current ballooning technique is the right thing. If there appears a better framework to achieve this we are prepared to evaluate and switch to using it, but in the meantime we'd like to get this driver upstream. We want to get the driver accepted in distributions so that users do not have to deal with an out-of-tree module and many distributions have "upstream first" requirement. The driver has been shipping for a number of years and users running on VMware platform will have it installed as part of VMware Tools even if it will not come from a distribution, thus there should not be additional risk in pulling the driver into mainline. The driver will only activate if host is VMware so everyone else should not be affected at all.

vmw_balloon: fixing double free when batching mode is off The balloon.page field is used for two different purposes if batching is on or off.

Unfortunately, this dual-purpose of the field introduced a bug: when the balloon is popped (e.g., when the machine is reset or the balloon driver is explicitly removed), the balloon driver frees, unconditionally, the page that is held in balloon.page. As a result, if batching is disabled, this leads to double freeing the last page that is sent to the hypervisor.

vmw_balloon: fixing double free when batching mode is off The balloon.page field is used for two different purposes if batching is on or off. If batching is on, the field point to the page which is used to communicate with with the hypervisor. If it is off, balloon.page points to the page that is about to be (un)locked. Unfortunately, this dual-purpose of the field introduced a bug: when the balloon is popped (e.g., when the machine is reset or the balloon driver is explicitly removed), the balloon driver frees, unconditionally, the page that is held in balloon.page. As a result, if batching is disabled, this leads to double freeing the last page that is sent to the hypervisor. The following error occurs during rmmod when kernel checkers are on, and the balloon is not empty: [ 42.307653] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 42.307657] Kernel BUG at ffffffffba1e4b28 [verbose debug info unavailable] [ 42.307720] invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC [ 42.312512] Modules linked in: vmw_vsock_vmci_transport vsock ppdev joydev vmw_balloon(-) input_leds serio_raw vmw_vmci parport_pc shpchp parport i2c_piix4 nfit mac_hid autofs4 vmwgfx drm_kms_helper hid_generic syscopyarea sysfillrect usbhid sysimgblt fb_sys_fops hid ttm mptspi scsi_transport_spi ahci mptscsih drm psmouse vmxnet3 libahci mptbase pata_acpi [ 42.312766] CPU: 10 PID: 1527 Comm: rmmod Not tainted 4.12.0+ #5 [ 42.312803] Hardware name: VMware, Inc.

VMware Balloon driver This is a standalone version of VMware Balloon driver. Ballooning is a technique that allows hypervisor dynamically limit the amount of memory available to the guest (with guest cooperation). In the overcommit scenario, when hypervisor set detects that it needs to shuffle some memory, it instructs the driver to allocate certain number of pages, and the underlying memory gets returned to the hypervisor. Later hypervisor may return memory to the guest by reattaching memory to the pageframes and instructing the driver to "deflate" balloon. We are submitting a standalone driver because KVM maintainer (Avi Kivity) expressed opinion (rightly) that our transport does not fit well into virtqueue paradigm and thus it does not make much sense to integrate with virtio. There were also some concerns whether current ballooning technique is the right thing. If there appears a better framework to achieve this we are prepared to evaluate and switch to using it, but in the meantime we'd like to get this driver upstream. We want to get the driver accepted in distributions so that users do not have to deal with an out-of-tree module and many distributions have "upstream first" requirement. The driver has been shipping for a number of years and users running on VMware platform will have it installed as part of VMware Tools even if it will not come from a distribution, thus there should not be additional risk in pulling the driver into mainline. The driver will only activate if host is VMware so everyone else should not be affected at all.

VMware Balloon driver This is a standalone version of VMware Balloon driver. Ballooning is a technique that allows hypervisor dynamically limit the amount of memory available to the guest (with guest cooperation). In the overcommit scenario, when hypervisor set detects that it needs to shuffle some memory, it instructs the driver to allocate certain number of pages, and the underlying memory gets returned to the hypervisor. Later hypervisor may return memory to the guest by reattaching memory to the pageframes and instructing the driver to "deflate" balloon. We are submitting a standalone driver because KVM maintainer (Avi Kivity) expressed opinion (rightly) that our transport does not fit well into virtqueue paradigm and thus it does not make much sense to integrate with virtio. There were also some concerns whether current ballooning technique is the right thing.

VMware Balloon driver This is a standalone version of VMware Balloon driver. Ballooning is a technique that allows hypervisor dynamically limit the amount of memory available to the guest (with guest cooperation). In the overcommit scenario, when hypervisor set detects that it needs to shuffle some memory, it instructs the driver to allocate certain number of pages, and the underlying memory gets returned to the hypervisor. Later hypervisor may return memory to the guest by reattaching memory to the pageframes and instructing the driver to "deflate" balloon.

Driver Core and debugfs changes for 5.3-rc1 Here is the "big" driver core and debugfs changes for 5.3-rc1 It's a lot of different patches, all across the tree due to some api changes and lots of debugfs cleanups. Because of this, there is going to be some merge issues with your tree at the moment, I'll follow up with the expected resolutions to make it easier for you. Other than the debugfs cleanups, in this set of changes we have: - bus iteration function cleanups (will cause build warnings with s390 and coresight drivers in your tree) - scripts/get_abi.pl tool to display and parse Documentation/ABI entries in a simple way - cleanups to Documenatation/ABI/ entries to make them parse easier due to typos and other minor things - default_attrs use for some ktype users - driver model documentation file conversions to .rst - compressed firmware file loading - deferred probe fixes All of these have been in linux-next for a while, with a bunch of merge issues that Stephen has been patient with me for. Other than the merge issues, functionality is working properly in linux-next :) Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iG0EABECAC0WIQT0tgzFv3jCIUoxPcsxR9QN2y37KQUCXSgpnQ8cZ3JlZ0Brcm9h aC5jb20ACgkQMUfUDdst+ykcwgCfS30OR4JmwZydWGJ7zK/cHqk+KjsAnjOxjC1K LpRyb3zX29oChFaZkc5a =XrEZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'driver-core-5.3-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core Pull driver core and debugfs updates from Greg KH: "Here is the "big" driver core and debugfs changes for 5.3-rc1 It's a lot of different patches, all across the tree due to some api changes and lots of debugfs cleanups.
