Abstract

The invention discloses a method, a device and a system for controlling a memory balloon, and is used for solving the problem of excessive time consuming of memory processing of a guest virtual machine because the operation finish time of the memory balloon in the guest virtual machine cannot be controlled. The method comprises the following steps: generating a timing setting strategy of the guest virtual machine by a physical host server, wherein the timing setting strategy is compression information of the memory balloon within a preset duration; when a balloon driver installed in the guest virtual machine receives the timing setting strategy sent by the physical host server, starting timing; based on the compression information of the memory balloon, carrying out corresponding memory balloon operations until any one of a first preset condition and a second preset condition is satisfied. Because the guest virtual machine carries out the corresponding memory balloon operations according to the timing setting strategy sent by the physical host server, the problem of excessive time consuming of the operations of the memory balloon in the guest virtual machine caused by business pressures can be solved in the operation process of the memory balloon.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computers, in particular to a method, device and system for controlling memory balloons. Background technique [0002] The memory balloon technology is a commonly used memory multiplexing technology in virtualization scenarios. The memory balloon technology refers to that the physical host (host) server actively reclaims the temporarily unused physical memory of the guest virtual machine (guest), and allocates it to the guest virtual machine that needs to reuse the memory. The recovery and allocation of memory are performed dynamically by the physical host server, and the application on the guest virtual machine has no perception. The total memory used by all guest virtual machines cannot exceed the total physical memory of the server. [0003] In the prior art, when using a memory balloon, the physical host server monitors the memory usage of the guest virtual machine, and sends a message to the balloon driver i...
