virtio-balloon: Safely handle BALLOON_PAGE_SIZE < host page size The virtio-balloon always works in units of 4kiB (BALLOON_PAGE_SIZE), but we can only actually discard memory in units of the host page size. Now, we handle this very badly: we silently ignore balloon requests that aren't host page aligned, and for requests that are host page aligned we discard the entire host page. The latter can corrupt guest memory if its page size is smaller than the host's. The obvious choice would be to disable the balloon if the host page size is not 4kiB. However, that would break the special case where host and guest have the same page size, but that's larger than 4kiB. That case currently works by accident[1] - and is used in practice on many production POWER systems where 64kiB has long been the Linux default page size on both host and guest. To make the balloon safe, without breaking that useful special case, we need to accumulate 4kiB balloon requests until we have a whole contiguous host page to discard. We could in principle do that across all guest memory, but it would require a large bitmap to track. This patch represents a compromise: we track ballooned subpages for a single contiguous host page at a time. This means that if the guest discards all 4kiB chunks of a host page in succession, we will discard it. This is the expected behaviour in the (host page) == (guest page) != 4kiB case we want to support. If the guest scatters 4kiB requests across different host pages, we don't discard anything, and issue a warning. Not ideal, but at least we don't corrupt guest memory as the previous version could. Warning reporting is kind of a compromise here. Determining whether we're in a problematic state at realize() time is tricky, because we'd have to look at the host pagesizes of all memory backends, but we can't really know if some of those backends could be for special purpose memory that's not subject to ballooning. Reporting only when the guest tries to balloon a partial page also isn't great because if the guest page size happens to line up it won't indicate that we're in a non ideal situation. It could also cause alarming repeated warnings whenever a migration is attempted. So, what we do is warn the first time the guest attempts balloon a partial host page, whether or not it will end up ballooning the rest of the page immediately afterwards. [1] Because when the guest attempts to balloon a page, it will submit requests for each 4kiB subpage. Most will be ignored, but the one which happens to be host page aligned will discard the whole lot.

balloon: add a feature bit to let Guest OS deflate balloon on oom Excessive virtio_balloon inflation can cause invocation of OOM-killer, when Linux is under severe memory pressure. Various mechanisms are responsible for correct virtio_balloon memory management. Nevertheless it is often the case that these control tools does not have enough time to react on fast changing memory load. As a result OS runs out of memory and invokes OOM-killer. The balancing of memory by use of the virtio balloon should not cause the termination of processes while there are pages in the balloon. Now there is no way for virtio balloon driver to free memory at the last moment before some process get killed by OOM-killer. This does not provide a security breach as balloon itself is running inside Guest OS and is working in the cooperation with the host. Thus some improvements from Guest side should be considered as normal. To solve the problem, introduce a virtio_balloon callback which is expected to be called from the oom notifier call chain in out_of_memory() function. If virtio balloon could release some memory, it will make the system return and retry the allocation that forced the out of memory killer to run. This behavior should be enabled if and only if appropriate feature bit is set on the device. It is off by default. This functionality was recently merged into vanilla Linux. commit 5a10b7dbf904bfe01bb9fcc6298f7df09eed77d5 Author: Raushaniya Maksudova <rmaksudova@parallels.com> Date: Mon Nov 10 09:36:29 2014 +1030 This patch adds respective control bits into QEMU. It introduces deflate-on-oom option for balloon device which does the trick. Signed-off-by: Denis V.
