virtio-mem dynamically exposes memory inside a device memory region as system RAM to Linux, coordinating with the hypervisor which parts are actually "plugged" and consequently usable/accessible. On the one hand, the virtio-mem driver adds/removes whole memory blocks, creating/removing busy IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM resources, on the other hand, it logically (un)plugs memory inside added memory blocks, dynamically either exposing them to the buddy or hiding them from the buddy and marking them PG_offline. In contrast to physical devices, like a DIMM, the virtio-mem driver is required to actually make use of any of the device-provided memory, because it performs the handshake with the hypervisor. virtio-mem memory cannot simply be access via /dev/mem without a driver. There is no safe way to: a) Access plugged memory blocks via /dev/mem, as they might contain unplugged holes or might get silently unplugged by the virtio-mem driver and consequently turned inaccessible. b) Access unplugged memory blocks via /dev/mem because the virtio-mem driver is required to make them actually accessible first. The virtio-spec states that unplugged memory blocks MUST NOT be written, and only selected unplugged memory blocks MAY be read. We want to make sure, this is the case in sane environments -- where the virtio-mem driver was loaded. We want to make sure that in a sane environment, nobody "accidentially" accesses unplugged memory inside the device managed region. For example, a user might spot a memory region in /proc/iomem and try accessing it via /dev/mem via gdb or dumping it via something else. By the time the mmap() happens, the memory might already have been removed by the virtio-mem driver silently: the mmap() would succeeed and user space might accidentially access unplugged memory. So once the driver was loaded and detected the device along the device-managed region, we just want to disallow any access via /dev/mem to it. In an ideal world, we would mark the whole region as busy ("owned by a driver") and exclude it; however, that would be wrong, as we don't really have actual system RAM at these ranges added to Linux ("busy system RAM"). Instead, we want to mark such ranges as "not actual busy system RAM but still soft-reserved and prepared by a driver for future use." Let's teach iomem_is_exclusive() to reject access to any range with "IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM | IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE", even if not busy and even if "iomem=relaxed" is set. Introduce EXCLUSIVE_SYSTEM_RAM to make it easier for applicable drivers to depend on this setting in their Kconfig. For now, there are no applicable ranges and we'll modify virtio-mem next to properly set IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE on the parent resource container it creates to contain all actual busy system RAM added via add_memory_driver_managed().

Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option

memory. So when the PFRA "evicts" a page, it first attempts to use

cleancache code to put the data contained in that page into

filesystem wishes to access a page in a file on disk, it first

checks cleancache to see if it already contains it; if it does,

the page is copied into the kernel and a disk access is avoided.

Xen transcendent memory), a significant I/O reduction

This enables the Contiguous Memory Allocator which allows other
|
|
subsystems to allocate big physically-contiguous blocks of memory.
|
|
CMA reserves a region of memory and allows only movable pages to
|
|
be allocated from it. This way, the kernel can use the memory for
|
|
pagecache and when a subsystem requests for contiguous area, the
|
|
allocated pages are migrated away to serve the contiguous request.

If unsure, say "n".

|
|
A lightweight compressed cache for swap pages. It takes
|
|
pages that are in the process of being swapped out and attempts to
|
|
compress them into a dynamically allocated RAM-based memory pool.
|
|
This can result in a significant I/O reduction on swap device and,
|
|
in the case where decompressing from RAM is faster that swap device
|
|
reads, can also improve workload performance.
|
|
|
|
This is marked experimental because it is a new feature (as of
|
|
v3.11) that interacts heavily with memory reclaim. While these
|
|
interactions don't cause any known issues on simple memory setups,
|
|
they have not be fully explored on the large set of potential
|
|
configurations and workloads that exist.
