virtio_balloon: introduce memory scan/reclaim info
Expose memory scan/reclaim information to the host side via virtio
balloon device.
Now we have a metric to analyze the memory performance:
y: counter increases
n: counter does not changes
h: the rate of counter change is high
l: the rate of counter change is low
OOM: VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_OOM_KILL
STALL: VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_ALLOC_STALL
ASCAN: VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_SCAN_ASYNC
DSCAN: VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_SCAN_DIRECT
ARCLM: VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_RECLAIM_ASYNC
DRCLM: VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_RECLAIM_DIRECT
- OOM[y], STALL[*], ASCAN[*], DSCAN[*], ARCLM[*], DRCLM[*]:
the guest runs under really critial memory pressure
- OOM[n], STALL[h], ASCAN[*], DSCAN[l], ARCLM[*], DRCLM[l]:
the memory allocation stalls due to cgroup, not the global memory
pressure.
- OOM[n], STALL[h], ASCAN[*], DSCAN[h], ARCLM[*], DRCLM[h]:
the memory allocation stalls due to global memory pressure. The
performance gets hurt a lot. A high ratio between DRCLM/DSCAN shows
quite effective memory reclaiming.
- OOM[n], STALL[h], ASCAN[*], DSCAN[h], ARCLM[*], DRCLM[l]:
the memory allocation stalls due to global memory pressure.
the ratio between DRCLM/DSCAN gets low, the guest OS is thrashing
heavily, the serious case leads poor performance and difficult
trouble shooting. Ex, sshd may block on memory allocation when
accepting new connections, a user can't login a VM by ssh command.
- OOM[n], STALL[n], ASCAN[h], DSCAN[n], ARCLM[l], DRCLM[n]:
the low ratio between ARCLM/ASCAN shows that the guest tries to
reclaim more memory, but it can't. Once more memory is required in
future, it will struggle to reclaim memory.
