* virtio: Add memory statistics reporting to the balloon driverAdam Litke2010-01-261-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Revert "Get rid of _t suffix"Anthony Liguori2009-10-011-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | In the very least, a change like this requires discussion on the list. The naming convention is goofy and it causes a massive merge problem. Something like this _must_ be presented on the list first so people can provide input and cope with it. This reverts commit 99a0949b720a0936da2052cb9a46db04ffc6db29.
