Subject: [RFC v1.1] Drivers: hv: balloon: Disable balloon and hot-add accordingly
Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2022 10:17:14 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220225021714.3815691-1-boqun.feng@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220223131548.2234326-3-boqun.feng@gmail.com>

Currently there are known potential issues for balloon and hot-add on
ARM64:

*	Unballoon requests from Hyper-V should only unballoon ranges
	that are guest page size aligned, otherwise guests cannot handle
	because it's impossible to partially free a page.

*	Memory hot-add requests from Hyper-V should provide the NUMA
	node id of the added ranges or ARM64 should have a functional
	memory_add_physaddr_to_nid(), otherwise the node id is missing
	for add_memory().

These issues require discussions on design and implementation. In the
meanwhile, post_status() is working and essiential to guest monitoring.
Therefore instead of the entire hv_balloon driver, the balloon and
hot-add are disabled accordingly for now. Once the issues are fixed,
they can be re-enable in these cases.

v1 --> v1.1:

*	Use HV_HYP_PAGE_SIZE instead of hard coding 4096 as suggested by
	Michael.

*	Explicitly print out the disable message if a function is
	disabled as suggested by Michael.
