The original was send to linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org on 4/14/15 10.29 am PST. Please refer to the original change for an overview. v1: - Initial implementation v2 - Address suggestions by Dmitry Totoknov - Use UINT_MAX as "infitite" rate instead of special casing -1 v3: - Change commit comment for step 6 to better explain what impact ballooning has on the VM performance. v4: - Add missing include header in step 3 v5: - Moved to from git/torvalds/linux master to git/gregkh/char-misc char-misc-next (4816693286d4ff9219b1cc72c2ab9c589448ebcb) and remove already applied steps 1/9 and 2/9. That changes the numbering of the patches. 3/9 is now 1/7, 4/9 is not 2/7, etc. There were no merge issues during this transition. Testing done: recompiled, installed, rebooted and make sure ballooning still works Thanks Philip Philip P. Moltmann (5): VMware balloon: Show capabilities of balloon and resulting capabilities in the debug-fs node. VMware balloon: Do not limit the amount of frees and allocations in non-sleep mode. VMware balloon: Support 2m page ballooning. VMware balloon: Treat init like reset VMware balloon: Enable notification via VMCI Xavier Deguillard (2): VMware balloon: add batching to the vmw_balloon. VMware balloon: Update balloon target on each lock/unlock. drivers/misc/Kconfig | 2 +- drivers/misc/vmw_balloon.c | 843 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------- 2 files changed, 662 insertions(+), 183 deletions(-) -- 2.4.3
