xen/balloon: use hotplugged pages for foreign mappings etc.
alloc_xenballooned_pages() is used to get ballooned pages to back foreign mappings etc. Instead of having to balloon out real pages, use (if supported) hotplugged memory. This makes more memory available to the guest and reduces fragmentation in the p2m. This is only enabled if the xen.balloon.hotplug_unpopulated sysctl is set to 1. This sysctl defaults to 0 in case the udev rules to automatically online hotplugged memory do not exist. Signed-off-by: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com> Reviewed-by: Daniel Kiper <daniel.kiper@oracle.com> --- v3: - Add xen.balloon.hotplug_unpopulated sysctl to enable use of hotplug for unpopulated pages.
