[PATCH v4 2/3] virtio_balloon: introduce migration primitives to balloon pages

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Besides making balloon pages movable at allocation time and introducing
the necessary primitives to perform balloon page migration/compaction,
this patch also introduces the following locking scheme to provide the
proper synchronization and protection for struct virtio_balloon elements
against concurrent accesses due to parallel operations introduced by
memory compaction / page migration.
 - balloon_lock (mutex) : synchronizes the access demand to elements of
			  struct virtio_balloon and its queue operations;
 - pages_lock (spinlock): special protection to balloon pages list against
			  concurrent list handling operations;
