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.

29config XEN_BALLOON_MEMORY_HOTPLUG
30 bool "Memory hotplug support for Xen balloon driver"
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.

66 is not accidentally visible to other domains. Is it more
67 secure, but slightly less efficient.

91 The xen filesystem provides a way for domains to share

158 The PCI device backend driver allows the kernel to export arbitrary
159 PCI devices to other guests. If you select this to be a module, you
160 will need to make sure no other driver has bound to the device(s)
161 you want to make visible to other guests.

163 The parameter "passthrough" allows you specify how you want the PCI
164 devices to appear in the guest. You can choose the default (0) where
165 PCI topology starts at 00.00.0, or (1) for passthrough if you want
166 the PCI devices topology appear the same as in the host.
