Technically, this is another version of:

But since virtio-pmem part is pushed now, I've reworked virtio-mem a bit
and sending it as a new series.
For curious ones, David summarized behaviour well when implementing
virtio-mem support in kernel:
https://lwn.net/Articles/755423/
For less curious ones:
# virsh update-memory $dom --requested-size 4G
adds additional 4GiB of RAM to guest;
# virsh update-memory $dom --requested-size 0
removes those 4GiB added earlier.
Patches are also available on my GitLab:
https://gitlab.com/MichalPrivoznik/libvirt/-/tree/virtio_mem_v3
Code LGTM:

A few questions about the overall design:
- it is mentioned that 'requested-size' should respect the granularity
of the block unit, but later on the 'actual' attribute is added to track
the size that the device was expanded/shrunk. What happens if we forfeit
the granularity check of the memory increments? Will QEMU error out because
we're requesting an invalid value or it will silently size the device to a
plausible size?
- Reading the lwn article I understood that David implemented this support
for s390x as well. If that's the case, then I believe you should double
check later on what's the THP size that Z uses to be sure that it's the
same 2MiB value you're considering in patch 03.
- in patch 03 it is mentioned that:
"If it wants to give more memory to the guest it changes 'requested-size' to
a bigger value, and if it wants to shrink guest memory it changes the
'requested-size' to a smaller value. Note, value of zero means that guest
should release all memory offered by the device."
Does size zero implicates the virtio-mem device unplug? Will the device still
exist in the guest even with zeroed memory, acting as a sort of 'deflated
virtio-balloon'?
Thanks,
DHB
