[PATCH v2 0/3] xen/x86: support setting dom0_mem depending on host size

[PATCH v2 0/3] xen/x86: support setting dom0_mem depending on host size

[Juergen Gross]

Setting the memory size of dom0 on a server for the non autoballooning
case requires always specification of a boot parameter today. The value
to set will depend mostly on the host memory size.

In order to support that scenario add the possibility to set dom0_mem
depending on the amount of physical memory by allowing to specify a
percentage of host memory (e.g. 10%) with an offset (like 1G+10%).

To make it easy for a distributor to use such a setting as the default
make the standard setting for dom0_mem configurable via Kconfig.

Changes since V1:
- replaced old patch 1 by new one
- rewritten patch 2 according to remarks by Jan Beulich
- changed patch 3 to allow config item on arm, too

[PATCH v2 1/3] xen: introduce parse_size_and_unit_or_int

[Juergen Gross]

Introduce parse_size_and_unit_or_int() similar to parse_size_and_unit()
but not defaulting to kbytes in case the parameter is a number followed
by a specified character.

So did you figure anything wrong with simply special casing '%'
here? '%' is a form of "unit", after all. Perhaps demanding "ps"
to be non-NULL (to have some form of indication the caller will
check the suffix char) might be reasonable.

I thought a more general approach would be better. I can use the simple
'%' special case with the ps check in case you prefer that.

I'd indeed prefer that, first and foremost because that other
function's name becomes too long for my taste, but give others
a chance to voice differing opinions.

[PATCH v2 2/3] xen/x86: add dom0 memory sizing variants

[Juergen Gross]

Today the memory size of dom0 can be specified only in terms of bytes
(either an absolute value or "host-mem - value"). When dom0 shouldn't
be auto-ballooned this requires nearly always a manual adaption of the
Xen boot parameters to reflect the actual host memory size.

Add more possibilities to specify memory sizes. Today we have:

dom0_mem= List of ( min:<size> | max:<size> | <size> )

with <size> being a positive or negative size value (e.g. 1G).

Modify that to:

dom0_mem= List of ( min:<sz> | max:<sz> | <sz> )
<sz>: <size> | [<size>+]<frac>%
<frac>: integer value < 100

With the following semantics:

<frac>% specifies a fraction of host memory size in percent.
<sz> is a percentage of host memory plus an offset.

So <sz> being 1G+25% on a 256G host would result in 65G.

... you allow more flexibility here than you document (i.e. also
<percentage>+<basesize>). You may want to consider
refusing something like 1G+10%+10%, though.

Okay, should be fairly easy.

Can I keep your R-b: with adding something like:

+    bool percent = false;
...
-    while ( isdigit(*s) )
+    while ( isdigit(*s) && !percent )
...
         if ( *s == '%' )
         {
+            percent = true;
...

Something like this, yes. The double percent value was just an
example though, "1G+10%+1G" then too would better either work
as written, or be refused.

[PATCH v2 3/3] xen: add CONFIG item for default dom0 memory size

[Juergen Gross]

With being able to specify a dom0_mem value depending on host memory
size on x86 make it easy for distros to specify a default dom0 size by
adding a CONFIG_DOM0_MEM item which presets the dom0_mem boot parameter
value.

It will be used only if no dom0_mem parameter was specified in the
boot parameters.
