David Hildenbrand 255f598507 virtio-mem: Paravirtualized memory hotunplug part 2
We also want to unplug online memory (contained in online memory blocks
and, therefore, managed by the buddy), and eventually replug it later.

When requested to unplug memory, we use alloc_contig_range() to allocate
subblocks in online memory blocks (so we are the owner) and send them to
our hypervisor. When requested to plug memory, we can replug such memory
using free_contig_range() after asking our hypervisor.

We also want to mark all allocated pages PG_offline, so nobody will
touch them. To differentiate pages that were never onlined when
onlining the memory block from pages allocated via alloc_contig_range(), we
use PageDirty(). Based on this flag, virtio_mem_fake_online() can either
online the pages for the first time or use free_contig_range().

It is worth noting that there are no guarantees on how much memory can
actually get unplugged again. All device memory might completely be
fragmented with unmovable data, such that no subblock can get unplugged.

We are not touching the ZONE_MOVABLE. If memory is onlined to the
ZONE_MOVABLE, it can only get unplugged after that memory was offlined
manually by user space. In normal operation, virtio-mem memory is
suggested to be onlined to ZONE_NORMAL. In the future, we will try to
make unplug more likely to succeed.

Add a module parameter to control if online memory shall be touched.

As we want to access alloc_contig_range()/free_contig_range() from
kernel module context, export the symbols.

Note: Whenever virtio-mem uses alloc_contig_range(), all affected pages
are on the same node, in the same zone, and contain no holes.

config VIRTIO
tristate
---help---
This option is selected by any driver which implements the virtio
bus, such as CONFIG_VIRTIO_PCI, CONFIG_VIRTIO_MMIO, CONFIG_RPMSG
or CONFIG_S390_GUEST.
menuconfig VIRTIO_MENU
bool "Virtio drivers"

if VIRTIO_MENU
config VIRTIO_PCI
tristate "PCI driver for virtio devices"
depends on PCI
select VIRTIO
---help---
This driver provides support for virtio based paravirtual device
drivers over PCI. This requires that your VMM has appropriate PCI
virtio backends. Most QEMU based VMMs should support these devices
(like KVM or Xen).
If unsure, say M.
config VIRTIO_PCI_LEGACY
bool "Support for legacy virtio draft 0.9.X and older devices"
default y
depends on VIRTIO_PCI
---help---
Virtio PCI Card 0.9.X Draft (circa 2014) and older device support.
This option enables building a transitional driver, supporting
both devices conforming to Virtio 1 specification, and legacy devices.
If disabled, you get a slightly smaller, non-transitional driver,
with no legacy compatibility.
So look out into your driveway. Do you have a flying car? If
so, you can happily disable this option and virtio will not
break. Otherwise, leave it set. Unless you're testing what
life will be like in The Future.
If unsure, say Y.
config VIRTIO_VDPA
tristate "vDPA driver for virtio devices"
depends on VDPA
select VIRTIO
help
This driver provides support for virtio based paravirtual
device driver over vDPA bus. For this to be useful, you need
an appropriate vDPA device implementation that operates on a
physical device to allow the datapath of virtio to be
offloaded to hardware.
If unsure, say M.
config VIRTIO_PMEM
tristate "Support for virtio pmem driver"

depends on LIBNVDIMM
help
This driver provides access to virtio-pmem devices, storage devices
that are mapped into the physical address space - similar to NVDIMMs
- with a virtio-based flushing interface.
If unsure, say Y.
config VIRTIO_BALLOON

This driver provides access to virtio-mem paravirtualized memory
devices, allowing to hotplug and hotunplug memory.
This driver was only tested under x86-64, but should theoretically
work on all architectures that support memory hotplug and hotremove.
If unsure, say M.

Allow virtio-mmio devices instantiation via the kernel command line
or module parameters. Be aware that using incorrect parameters (base
address in particular) can crash your system - you have been warned.
See Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst for details.
If unsure, say 'N'.
