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.
