[PATCH v2 0/2] Drivers: hv: balloon: Temporary fixes for ARM64
Posted by Boqun Feng 4 years, 2 months ago
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220223131548.2234326-1-boqun.feng@gmail.com/

Changes since v1:

*	Wording changes suggested by Michael Kelley.

Since Hyper-V always uses 4k pages, hv_balloon has some difficulties
working on ARM64 with larger pages[1]. Besides the memory hot add
messages of Hyper-V doesn't have the information of NUMA node id of the
added memory range, and ARM64 currently doesn't provide the conversion
from a physical address to a node id, as a result the hv_balloon driver
couldn't handle hot add properly when there are more than one NUMA node.

Among these issues, post_status() is easy to fix, while the unballoon
issue and the hot-add issue requires more discussion. To make the
hv_balloon driver work at the best effort, this patchset fixes the
post_status() and temporarily disable the balloon and hot-add
accordingly.

Looking forwards to comments and suggestions.

Regards,
Boqun
