      virtio-balloon: VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_PAGE_POISON · 2e991629
      Wei Wang authored
      The VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_PAGE_POISON feature bit is used to indicate if the
      guest is using page poisoning. Guest writes to the poison_val config
      field to tell host about the page poisoning value that is in use.

      mm/page_poison: expose page_poisoning_enabled to kernel modules · d95f58f4
      Wei Wang authored
      In some usages, e.g. virtio-balloon, a kernel module needs to know if
      page poisoning is in use. This patch exposes the page_poisoning_enabled
      function to kernel modules.

      virtio-balloon: VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_FREE_PAGE_HINT · 86a55978
      Wei Wang authored
      Negotiation of the VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_FREE_PAGE_HINT feature indicates the
      support of reporting hints of guest free pages to host via virtio-balloon.
      Currenlty, only free page blocks of MAX_ORDER - 1 are reported. They are
      obtained one by one from the mm free list via the regular allocation
      function.
      
      Host requests the guest to report free page hints by sending a new cmd id
      to the guest via the free_page_report_cmd_id configuration register. When
      the guest starts to report, it first sends a start cmd to host via the
      free page vq, which acks to host the cmd id received. When the guest
      finishes reporting free pages, a stop cmd is sent to host via the vq.
      Host may also send a stop cmd id to the guest to stop the reporting.
      
      VIRTIO_BALLOON_CMD_ID_STOP: Host sends this cmd to stop the guest
      reporting.
      VIRTIO_BALLOON_CMD_ID_DONE: Host sends this cmd to tell the guest that
      the reported pages are ready to be freed.
      
      Why does the guest free the reported pages when host tells it is ready to
      free?
      This is because freeing pages appears to be expensive for live migration.
      free_pages() dirties memory very quickly and makes the live migraion not
      converge in some cases. So it is good to delay the free_page operation
      when the migration is done, and host sends a command to guest about that.
      
      Why do we need the new VIRTIO_BALLOON_CMD_ID_DONE, instead of reusing
      VIRTIO_BALLOON_CMD_ID_STOP?
      This is because live migration is usually done in several rounds. At the
      end of each round, host needs to send a VIRTIO_BALLOON_CMD_ID_STOP cmd to
      the guest to stop (or say pause) the reporting. The guest resumes the
      reporting when it receives a new command id at the beginning of the next
      round. So we need a new cmd id to distinguish between "stop reporting" and
      "ready to free the reported pages".
      
      TODO:
      - Add a batch page allocation API to amortize the allocation overhead.

      ip6_tunnel: Fix encapsulation layout · d4d576f5
      Stefano Brivio authored
      Commit 058214a4 ("ip6_tun: Add infrastructure for doing
      encapsulation") added the ip6_tnl_encap() call in ip6_tnl_xmit(), before
      the call to ipv6_push_frag_opts() to append the IPv6 Tunnel Encapsulation
      Limit option (option 4, RFC 2473, par. 5.1) to the outer IPv6 header.
      
      As long as the option didn't actually end up in generated packets, this
      wasn't an issue. Then commit 89a23c8b ("ip6_tunnel: Fix missing tunnel
      encapsulation limit option") fixed sending of this option, and the
      resulting layout, e.g. for FoU, is:
      
      .-------------------.------------.----------.-------------------.----- - -
      | Outer IPv6 Header | UDP header | Option 4 | Inner IPv6 Header | Payload
      '-------------------'------------'----------'-------------------'----- - -
      
      Needless to say, FoU and GUE (at least) won't work over IPv6. The option
      is appended by default, and I couldn't find a way to disable it with the
      current iproute2.
      
      Turn this into a more reasonable:
      
      .-------------------.----------.------------.-------------------.----- - -
      | Outer IPv6 Header | Option 4 | UDP header | Inner IPv6 Header | Payload
      '-------------------'----------'------------'-------------------'----- - -
      
      With this, and with 84dad559 ("udp6: fix encap return code for
      resubmitting"), FoU and GUE work again over IPv6.
      
      Fixes: 058214a4 ("ip6_tun: Add infrastructure for doing encapsulation")
