virtio: Add memory statistics reporting to the balloon driver (V4)
Changes since V3: - Do not do endian conversions as they will be done in the host - Report stats that reference a quantity of memory in bytes - Minor coding style updates Changes since V2: - Increase stat field size to 64 bits - Report all sizes in kb (not pages) - Drop anon_pages stat and fix endianness conversion Changes since V1: - Use a virtqueue instead of the device config space When using ballooning to manage overcommitted memory on a host, a system for guests to communicate their memory usage to the host can provide information that will minimize the impact of ballooning on the guests. The current method employs a daemon running in each guest that communicates memory statistics to a host daemon at a specified time interval. The host daemon aggregates this information and inflates and/or deflates balloons according to the level of host memory pressure. This approach is effective but overly complex since a daemon must be installed inside each guest and coordinated to communicate with the host. A simpler approach is to collect memory statistics in the virtio balloon driver and communicate them directly to the hypervisor. This patch enables the guest-side support by adding stats collection and reporting to the virtio balloon driver.
