| 17 | Self-ballooning dynamically balloons available kernel memory driven |
| 18 | by the current usage of anonymous memory ("committed AS") and |
| 19 | controlled by various sysfs-settable parameters. Configuring |
| 20 | FRONTSWAP is highly recommended; if it is not configured, self- |
| 21 | ballooning is disabled by default but can be enabled with the |
| 22 | 'selfballooning' kernel boot parameter. If FRONTSWAP is configured, |
| 23 | frontswap-selfshrinking is enabled by default but can be disabled |
| 24 | with the 'noselfshrink' kernel boot parameter; and self-ballooning |
| 25 | is enabled by default but can be disabled with the 'noselfballooning' |
| 26 | kernel boot parameter. Note that systems without a sufficiently |
| 27 | large swap device should not enable self-ballooning. |

| 34 | Memory hotplug support for Xen balloon driver allows expanding memory |
| 35 | available for the system above limit declared at system startup. |
| 36 | It is very useful on critical systems which require long |
| 37 | run without rebooting. |
| 38 | |
| 39 | Memory could be hotplugged in following steps: |
| 40 | |
| 41 | 1) dom0: xl mem-max <domU> <maxmem> |
| 42 | where <maxmem> is >= requested memory size, |
| 43 | |
| 44 | 2) dom0: xl mem-set <domU> <memory> |
| 45 | where <memory> is requested memory size; alternatively memory |
| 46 | could be added by writing proper value to |
| 47 | /sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/target or |
| 48 | /sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/target_kb on dumU, |
| 49 | |
| 50 | 3) domU: for i in /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/state; do \ |
| 51 | [ "`cat "$i"`" = offline ] && echo online > "$i"; done |
| 52 | |
| 53 | Memory could be onlined automatically on domU by adding following line to udev rules: |
| 54 | |
| 55 | SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/bin/sh -c '[ -f /sys$devpath/state ] && echo online > /sys$devpath/state'" |
