8 The balloon driver allows the Xen domain to request more memory from
9 the system to expand the domain's memory allocation, or alternatively
10 return unneeded memory to the system.

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.

31 default n
32 depends on XEN_BALLOON && MEMORY_HOTPLUG
33 help
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'"
56
57 In that case step 3 should be omitted.

64 Scrub pages before returning them to the system for reuse by
65 other domains. This makes sure that any confidential data
66 is not accidentally visible to other domains. Is it more
67 secure, but slightly less efficient.
