Allow Xen tmem shim to be built/loaded as a module. Xen self-ballooning and frontswap-selfshrinking are now also "lazily" initialized when the Xen tmem shim is loaded as a module, unless explicitly disabled by module parameters. Note runtime dependency disallows loading if cleancache/frontswap lazy initialization patches are not present. If built-in (not built as a module), the original mechanism of enabling via a kernel boot parameter is retained, but this should be considered deprecated. Note that module unload is explicitly not yet supported.

It will be useful to be able to access global memory commitment from device drivers. On the Hyper-V platform, the host has a policy engine to balance the available physical memory amongst all competing virtual machines hosted on a given node. This policy engine is driven by a number of metrics including the memory commitment reported by the guests. The balloon driver for Linux on Hyper-V will use this function to retrieve guest memory commitment. This function is also used in Xen self ballooning code.

Currently, the memory target in the Xen selfballooning driver is mainly driven by the value of "Committed_AS". However, there are cases in which it is desirable to assign additional memory to be available for the kernel, e.g. for local caches (which are not covered by cleancache), e.g. dcache and inode caches. This adds an additional tunable in the selfballooning driver (accessible via sysfs) which allows the user to specify an additional constant amount of memory to be reserved by the selfballoning driver for the local domain.

The balloon driver's "current_pages" is very different from totalram_pages. Self-ballooning needs to be driven by the latter. Also, Committed_AS doesn't account for pages used by the kernel so: 1) Add totalreserve_pages to Committed_AS for the normal target. 2) Enforce a floor for when there are little or no user-space threads using memory (e.g. single-user mode) to avoid OOMs. The floor function includes a "min_usable_mb" tuneable in case we discover later that the floor function is still too aggressive in some workloads, though likely it will not be needed. Changes since version 4: - change floor calculation so that it is not as aggressive; this version uses a piecewise linear function similar to minimum_target in the 2.6.18 balloon driver, but modified to add to totalreserve_pages instead of subtract from max_pfn, the 2.6.18 version causes OOMs on recent kernels because the kernel has expanded over time - change safety_margin to min_usable_mb and comment on its use - since committed_as does NOT include kernel space (and other reserved pages), totalreserve_pages is now added to committed_as. The result is less aggressive self-ballooning, but theoretically more appropriate. Changes since version 3: - missing include causes compile problem when CONFIG_FRONTSWAP is disabled - add comments after includes Changes since version 2: - missing include causes compile problem only on 32-bit Changes since version 1: - tuneable safety margin added [v5: avi.miller@oracle.com: still too aggressive, seeing some OOMs] [v4: konrad.wilk@oracle.com: fix compile when CONFIG_FRONTSWAP is disabled] [v3: guru.anbalagane@oracle.com: fix 32-bit compile] [v2: konrad.wilk@oracle.com: make safety margin tuneable] Signed-off-by: NDan Magenheimer <dan.magenheimer@oracle.com> [v1: Altered description and added an extra include] Signed-off-by: NKonrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>

This patch introduces two in-kernel drivers for Xen transcendent memory ("tmem") functionality that complement cleancache and frontswap. Both use control theory to dynamically adjust and optimize memory utilization. Selfballooning controls the in-kernel Xen balloon driver, targeting a goal value (vm_committed_as), thus pushing less frequently used clean page cache pages (through the cleancache code) into Xen tmem where Xen can balance needs across all VMs residing on the physical machine. Frontswap-selfshrinking controls the number of pages in frontswap, driving it towards zero (effectively doing a partial swapoff) when in-kernel memory pressure subsides, freeing up RAM for other VMs. More detail is provided in the header comment of xen-selfballooning.c.
