This is v2 of the ACPI memory hotplug prototype for x86_64 target.
I think the concept of DIMMs (what about SIMMs? SODIMMs? I liked memslot) would be useful for most targets, but hotplugging may be limited to x86 only. It would be nice to keep these two separate or as loosely coupled as possible.
Changes v1->v2
- memory map is automatically calculated for hotplug dimms. Dimms are added from
top-of-memory skipping the pci hole at [PCI_HOLE_START, 4G).
- Renamed from "-memslot" to "-dimm". Commands changed to "dimm_add", "dimm_del".
- Seabios ejection array reduced to a byte. Use extraction macros for dimm ssdt.
- additional SRAT paravirt info does not break previous SRAT fw_cfg layout.
- Documentation of new acpi_piix4 registers and paravirt data.
- add ACPI _OST support for _OST enabled guests. This allows qemu to receive
notification for success / failure of memory hot-add and hot-remove operations. Guest needs to support _OST (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/25/321)
- add monitor info command to report total guest memory (initial + hot-added)
- add command line options and monitor commands for batch dimm creation/population
Overview:
Dimm devices are modeled with a new qemu command line
"-dimm id=name,size=sz,node=pxm,populated=on|off"
As already mentioned, the starting physical address for all dimms is calculated automatically from top of memory, skipping the pci hole at [PCI_HOLE_START, 4G). Node is defining numa proximity for this dimm. When not defined it defaults to zero. "-dimm id=dimm0,size=512M,node=0,populated=off" will define a 512M memory slot belonging to numa node 0.
Dimms are added or removed with a new hmp command "dimm_add/dimm_del": Hot-add syntax: "dimm_add id" Hot-remove syntax: "dimm_del id"
Issues:
- Live migration works as long as populated field is changed to "on" for
hotplugged dimms at the destination qemu command line (patch 12/21 lifts this requirement). The DimmState structure does not yet define a VMStateDescription, but i assume this is the preferred way to pass state for migration.
- Dimms are abstracted as qdevices attached to the main system bus. However,
memory hotplugging has its own side channel ignoring main_system_bus's hotplug incapability. A cleaner integration is still needed, probably attaching memory devices as children-links of an acpi-capable device (in the pc case acpi_piix4) instead of the system bus (TBD). Then device_add/device_del instead of new commands can hopefully be used.
Comments/review welcome.
