From 8a105678fb3ec4763352db84745968bf2cb4aa65 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: SeongJae Park Date: Mon, 27 Jan 2020 09:18:08 +0100 Subject: xenbus/backend: Add memory pressure handler callback MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Granting pages consumes backend system memory. In systems configured with insufficient spare memory for those pages, it can cause a memory pressure situation. However, finding the optimal amount of the spare memory is challenging for large systems having dynamic resource utilization patterns. Also, such a static configuration might lack flexibility. To mitigate such problems, this commit adds a memory reclaim callback to 'xenbus_driver'. If a memory pressure is detected, 'xenbus' requests every backend driver to volunarily release its memory. Note that it would be able to improve the callback facility for more sophisticated handlings of general pressures. For example, it would be possible to monitor the memory consumption of each device and issue the release requests to only devices which causing the pressure. Also, the callback could be extended to handle not only memory, but general resources. Nevertheless, this version of the implementation defers such sophisticated goals as a future work.

To avoid such race, this commit embeds a spinlock in each 'xenbus_device' and make 'xenbus' to hold the lock while the corresponded callbacks are running.
