[Xen-devel] [PATCH v3 0/3] xen/x86: support setting dom0_mem depending on host size



Setting the memory size of dom0 on a server for the non autoballooning
case requires always specification of a boot parameter today. The value
to set will depend mostly on the host memory size.

In order to support that scenario add the possibility to set dom0_mem
depending on the amount of physical memory by allowing to specify a
percentage of host memory (e.g. 10%) with an offset (like 1G+10%).

To make it easy for a distributor to use such a setting as the default
make the standard setting for dom0_mem configurable via Kconfig.

Changes since V2:
- patch 1: let parse_size_and_unit() accept '%' instead of adding a
  new parsing function for that (Jan Beulich)
- patch 2: make dom0mem parsing function more robust against parameter
  format errors (Jan Beulich)

Changes since V1:
- replaced old patch 1 by new one
- rewritten patch 2 according to remarks by Jan Beulich
- changed patch 3 to allow config item on arm, too

Juergen Gross (3):
  xen: modify parse_size_and_unit() to support percentage
  xen/x86: add dom0 memory sizing variants
  xen: add CONFIG item for default dom0 memory size
