/******************************************************************************
 * Xen selfballoon driver (and optional frontswap self-shrinking driver)
 *
 * Copyright (c) 2009-2011, Dan Magenheimer, Oracle Corp.
 *
 * This code complements the cleancache and frontswap patchsets to optimize
 * support for Xen Transcendent Memory ("tmem").  The policy it implements
 * is rudimentary and will likely improve over time, but it does work well
 * enough today.
 *
 * Two functionalities are implemented here which both use "control theory"
 * (feedback) to optimize memory utilization. In a virtualized environment
 * such as Xen, RAM is often a scarce resource and we would like to ensure
 * that each of a possibly large number of virtual machines is using RAM
 * efficiently, i.e. using as little as possible when under light load
 * and obtaining as much as possible when memory demands are high.
 * Since RAM needs vary highly dynamically and sometimes dramatically,
 * "hysteresis" is used, that is, memory target is determined not just
 * on current data but also on past data stored in the system.
 *
 * "Selfballooning" creates memory pressure by managing the Xen balloon
 * driver to decrease and increase available kernel memory, driven
 * largely by the target value of "Committed_AS" (see /proc/meminfo).
 * Since Committed_AS does not account for clean mapped pages (i.e. pages
 * in RAM that are identical to pages on disk), selfballooning has the
 * affect of pushing less frequently used clean pagecache pages out of
 * kernel RAM and, presumably using cleancache, into Xen tmem where
 * Xen can more efficiently optimize RAM utilization for such pages.
 *
 * When kernel memory demand unexpectedly increases faster than Xen, via
 * the selfballoon driver, is able to (or chooses to) provide usable RAM,
 * the kernel may invoke swapping.  In most cases, frontswap is able
 * to absorb this swapping into Xen tmem.  However, due to the fact
 * that the kernel swap subsystem assumes swapping occurs to a disk,
 * swapped pages may sit on the disk for a very long time; even if
 * the kernel knows the page will never be used again.  This is because
 * the disk space costs very little and can be overwritten when
 * necessary.  When such stale pages are in frontswap, however, they
 * are taking up valuable real estate.  "Frontswap selfshrinking" works
 * to resolve this:  When frontswap activity is otherwise stable
 * and the guest kernel is not under memory pressure, the "frontswap
 * selfshrinking" accounts for this by providing pressure to remove some
 * pages from frontswap and return them to kernel memory.
 *
 * For both "selfballooning" and "frontswap-selfshrinking", a worker
 * thread is used and sysfs tunables are provided to adjust the frequency
 * and rate of adjustments to achieve the goal, as well as to disable one
 * or both functions independently.
 *
 * While some argue that this functionality can and should be implemented
 * in userspace, it has been observed that bad things happen (e.g. OOMs).
 *
 * System configuration note: Selfballooning should not be enabled on
 * systems without a sufficiently large swap device configured; for best
 * results, it is recommended that total swap be increased by the size
 * of the guest memory. Note, that selfballooning should be disabled by default
 * if frontswap is not configured.  Similarly selfballooning should be enabled
 * by default if frontswap is configured and can be disabled with the
 * "tmem.selfballooning=0" kernel boot option.  Finally, when frontswap is
 * configured, frontswap-selfshrinking can be disabled  with the
 * "tmem.selfshrink=0" kernel boot option.
 *
 * Selfballooning is disallowed in domain0 and force-disabled.
