From: "Maciej S. Szmigiero" <maciej.szmigiero@oracle.com>

This driver is like virtio-balloon on steroids: it allows both changing the
guest memory allocation via ballooning and inserting extra RAM into it by
adding haprot virtual DIMM sticks.
One of advantages of these over ACPI-based PC DIMM hotplug is that such
memory can be hotplugged in much smaller granularity because the ACPI DIMM
slot limit does not apply.

In contrast with ACPI DIMM hotplug where one can only request to unplug a
whole DIMM stick this driver allows removing memory from guest in single
page (4k) units via ballooning.
Then, once the guest has released the whole memory backed by a haprot
virtual DIMM stick such device is marked "unused" and can be removed from
the VM, if one wants so.
A "HV_BALLOON_HAPROT_UNUSED" QMP event is emitted in this case so the
software controlling QEMU knows that this operation is now possible.

The haprot devices are also marked unused after a VM reboot (with a
corresponding "HV_BALLOON_HAPROT_UNUSED" QMP event).
They are automatically reinserted (if still present) after the guest
reconnects to this protocol (a "HV_BALLOON_HAPROT_INUSE" QMP event is then
emitted).

For performance reasons, the guest-released memory is tracked in few range
trees, as a series of (start, count) ranges.
Each time a new page range is inserted into such tree its neighbors are
checked as candidates for possible merging with it.

Besides performance reasons, the Dynamic Memory protocol itself uses page
ranges as the data structure in its messages, so relevant pages need to be
merged into such ranges anyway.

One has to be careful when tracking the guest-released pages, since the
guest can maliciously report returning pages outside its current address
space, which later clash with the address range of newly added memory.
Similarly, the guest can report freeing the same page twice.

The above design results in much better ballooning performance than when
using virtio-balloon with the same guest: 230 GB / minute with this driver
versus 70 GB / minute with virtio-balloon.

During a ballooning operation most of time is spent waiting for the guest
to come up with newly freed page ranges, processing the received ranges on
the host side (in QEMU / KVM) is nearly instantaneous.

The unballoon operation is also pretty much instantaneous:
thanks to the merging of the ballooned out page ranges 200 GB of memory can
be returned to the guest in about 1 second.
With virtio-balloon this operation takes about 2.5 minutes.

These tests were done against a Windows Server 2019 guest running on a
Xeon E5-2699, after dirtying the whole memory inside guest before each
balloon operation.

Using a range tree instead of a bitmap to track the removed memory also
means that the solution scales well with the guest size: even a 1 TB range
takes just few bytes of memory.

Since the required GTree operations aren't present in every Glib version
a check for them was added to "configure" script, together with new
"--enable-hv-balloon" and "--disable-hv-balloon" arguments.
If these GTree operations are missing in the system Glib this driver will
be skipped during QEMU build.

An optional "status-report=on" device parameter requests memory status
events from the guest (typically sent every second), which allow the host
to learn both the guest memory available and the guest memory in use
counts.
They are emitted externally as "HV_BALLOON_STATUS_REPORT" QMP events.

The driver is named hv-balloon since the Linux kernel client driver for
the Dynamic Memory Protocol is named as such and to follow the naming
pattern established by the virtio-balloon driver.
The whole protocol runs over Hyper-V VMBus that has its implementation
recently merged in.

The driver was tested against Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2016
and Windows Server 2016 guests and obeys the guest alignment requirements
reported to the host via DM_CAPABILITIES_REPORT message.

+# Emitted when the hv-balloon driver receives a "STATUS" message from
+# the guest.
+#
+# @commited: the amount of memory in use inside the guest plus the amount
+#            of the memory unusable inside the guest (ballooned out,
+#            offline, etc.)
+#
+# @available: the amount of the memory inside the guest available for new
+#             allocations ("free")
+#
+# Since: TBD

+# Example:

+# <- { "event": "HV_BALLOON_STATUS_REPORT",

+#
+# Emitted when the hv-balloon driver marks a device for memory hot-add
+# protocols (haprot) unused so it can now be removed, if required.
+#
+# This can happen because the guest returned all the memory contained
+# in it via ballooning or the VM was restarted.
+#
+# @id: the haprot device id
+#
+# Since: TBD

+# Emitted when the hv-balloon driver marks a device for memory hot-add

+# This can happen because the guest was unballooned using its memory range
