Export the number of successful and failed hugetlb page

Not for this patch, but it looks to me that
exporting such nr through uapi is fragile.
Sorry, can you explain what you mean here?

Jon
Spec said "Within an output buffer submitted to the
statsq, the device MUST
ignore entries with tag values that it does not
recognize". So exporting
VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_NR seems useless and device
implementation can not depend
on such number in uapi.

Thanks
Suggestions? I don't like to break build for people ...


Didn't have a good idea. But maybe we should keep
VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_NR unchanged, and add a comment here.

Thanks

I think Jason's comment is for a future patch. Didn't see this
patch get applied, so wondering if it could be.

Thanks,
Jon

Hi Jon:

Have you tested new driver with old qemu?

Yes, this testing scenario looks good. Thanks.

Jon

Hi Jon:

I mean e.g compiling qemu with new linux headers. E.g current qemu has:

static const char *balloon_stat_names[] = {
     [VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_SWAP_IN] = "stat-swap-in",
     [VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_SWAP_OUT] = "stat-swap-out",
     [VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_MAJFLT] = "stat-major-faults",
     [VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_MINFLT] = "stat-minor-faults",
     [VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_MEMFREE] = "stat-free-memory",
     [VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_MEMTOT] = "stat-total-memory",
     [VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_AVAIL] = "stat-available-memory",
     [VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_CACHES] = "stat-disk-caches",
     [VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_NR] = NULL
};

I'm afraid it will be broken if VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_NR is 10.

Thanks

Well it is handy for sizing arrays and this isn't the first time we did
this:

      virtio_balloon: include disk/file caches memory statistics

      virtio_balloon: export 'available' memory to balloon statistics

how about we give QEMU a hand and just put the list of names in
the header?

I posted a patch like that, pls review.


Sorry, maybe I'm missing something. We have an internal copy of the header
file in qemu under include/standard-headers/linux/virtio_balloon.h, which
hw/virtio/virtio-balloon.c includes (through including
hw/virtio/virtio-balloon.h). I thought qemu would use internal header files
so that it could be compiled on any Linux kernel version. So when would we
ever have the issue Jason is discussing?

Thanks,
Jon

Whenever we update the headers.


Ah got it. Updating the headers without updating that string array breaks things. Thanks.
