From 18468d93e53b037e1a04ec58398eab763d054064 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rafael Aquini Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2012 16:02:38 -0800 Subject: mm: introduce a common interface for balloon pages mobility Memory fragmentation introduced by ballooning might reduce significantly the number of 2MB contiguous memory blocks that can be used within a guest, thus imposing performance penalties associated with the reduced number of transparent huge pages that could be used by the guest workload. This patch introduces a common interface to help a balloon driver on making its page set movable to compaction, and thus allowing the system to better leverage the compation efforts on memory defragmentation.
