[pve-devel] [PATCH v5 qemu-server 00/12] rework memory hotplug + virtiomem

[Alexandre Derumier]

This patch series rework the current memory hotplug + virtiomem.

memory option now have extra options:

memory: [[current=]<integer>] [,max=<enum>] [,virtio=<1|0>]
ex: memory: current=1024,max=131072,virtio=1


for classic memory hotplug, when maxmemory is defined,
we use 64 fixed size dimm.
The max option is a multiple of 64GB.

The virtio option enable new virtio-mem support,
instead of plugging dimm, it's add/removed block inside
big dimm.
virtio-mem can use 32000 blocks, the blocksize is compute from
max memory.


Changelog v2:

update differents patches based on Fiona comments.
(I have send 2 others mails with comments not yet addressed)

Biggest change is on virtio-mem, instead of trying to have same amount of memory
on each virtiomem (some block could be unmovable and break unplug),
we try to balance/dispatch remaining block on other available virtiomems.

Also, the minimum blocksize supported by linux guest os is 4MB currently,
even if virtiomem can use 2MB on qemu side.


Changelog v3:

- cleanup from last Fiona comments
- classic hotplug : fix memory unplug
- virtio-mem: split retry logic in a second optional patch 
  (feel free to apply it later if needed)

Changelog v4:
- cleanup from last Fiona comments

Changelog v5:
- move dimm hot-unplug patches on top of the serie
- cleanup from last Fiona comments

Alexandre Derumier (12):
  memory: rename qemu_dimm_list to qemu_memdevices_list
  memory: don't use foreach_reversedimm for unplug
  add memory parser
  memory: add get_static_mem
  memory: use static_memory in foreach_dimm
  config: memory: add 'max' option
  memory: get_max_mem: use config memory max
  memory: use 64 slots && static dimm size when max is defined
  test: add memory-max tests
  memory: add virtio-mem support
  memory: virtio-mem : implement redispatch retry.
  tests: add virtio-mem tests
