[PULL 08/31] virtio-balloon: optimize the virtio-balloon on the ARM plat


From: Michael S. Tsirkin
Subject: [PULL 08/31] virtio-balloon: optimize the virtio-balloon on the ARM platform
Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2023 03:45:12 -0400

From: Yangming <yangming73@huawei.com>

Optimize the virtio-balloon feature on the ARM platform by adding
a variable to keep track of the current hot-plugged pc-dimm size,
instead of traversing the virtual machine's memory modules to count
the current RAM size during the balloon inflation or deflation
process. This variable can be updated only when plugging or unplugging
the device, which will result in an increase of approximately 60%
efficiency of balloon process on the ARM platform.

We tested the total amount of time required for the balloon inflation process 
on ARM:
inflate the balloon to 64GB of a 128GB guest under stress.
Before: 102 seconds
After: 42 seconds
