   7         help
   8           The balloon driver allows the Xen domain to request more memory from
   9           the system to expand the domain's memory allocation, or alternatively
  10           return unneeded memory to the system.

  17           Self-ballooning dynamically balloons available kernel memory driven
  18           by the current usage of anonymous memory ("committed AS") and
  19           controlled by various sysfs-settable parameters.  Configuring
  20           FRONTSWAP is highly recommended; if it is not configured, self-
  21           ballooning is disabled by default but can be enabled with the
  22           'selfballooning' kernel boot parameter.  If FRONTSWAP is configured,
  23           frontswap-selfshrinking is enabled by default but can be disabled
  24           with the 'noselfshrink' kernel boot parameter; and self-ballooning
  25           is enabled by default but can be disabled with the 'noselfballooning'
  26           kernel boot parameter.  Note that systems without a sufficiently
  27           large swap device should not enable self-ballooning.

  33         help
  34           Memory hotplug support for Xen balloon driver allows expanding memory
  35           available for the system above limit declared at system startup.
  36           It is very useful on critical systems which require long
  37           run without rebooting.
  38
  39           Memory could be hotplugged in following steps:
  40
  41             1) dom0: xl mem-max <domU> <maxmem>
  42                where <maxmem> is >= requested memory size,
  43
  44             2) dom0: xl mem-set <domU> <memory>
  45                where <memory> is requested memory size; alternatively memory
  46                could be added by writing proper value to
  47                /sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/target or
  48                /sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/target_kb on dumU,
  49
  50             3) domU: for i in /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/state; do \
  51                        [ "`cat "$i"`" = offline ] && echo online > "$i"; done
  52
  53           Memory could be onlined automatically on domU by adding following line to udev rules:
  54
  55           SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/bin/sh -c '[ -f /sys$devpath/state ] && echo online > /sys$devpath/state'"
  56
  57           In that case step 3 should be omitted.

  64           Scrub pages before returning them to the system for reuse by
  65           other domains.  This makes sure that any confidential data
  66           is not accidentally visible to other domains.  Is it more
  67           secure, but slightly less efficient.

  91           The xen filesystem provides a way for domains to share
  92           information with each other and with the hypervisor.
  93           For example, by reading and writing the "xenbus" file, guests
  94           may pass arbitrary information to the initial domain.

 103          under /proc/xen, but "xenbus" is now found at the root of the

 105          the compatibility mount point /proc/xen if it is running on
 106          a xen platform.

 168           The PCI device backend driver allows the kernel to export arbitrary
 169           PCI devices to other guests. If you select this to be a module, you
 170           will need to make sure no other driver has bound to the device(s)
 171           you want to make visible to other guests.
 172
 173           The parameter "passthrough" allows you specify how you want the PCI
 174           devices to appear in the guest. You can choose the default (0) where
 175           PCI topology starts at 00.00.0, or (1) for passthrough if you want
 176           the PCI devices topology appear the same as in the host.
 177
 178           The "hide" parameter (only applicable if backend driver is compiled
 179           into the kernel) allows you to bind the PCI devices to this module
 180           from the default device drivers. The argument is the list of PCI BDFs:
 181           xen-pciback.hide=(03:00.0)(04:00.0)
 182
 183           If in doubt, say m.
