[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] hmp, qmp: introduce "info memory" and "query-memory" commands

[Vadim Galitsyn]

Hello,
 
Some time ago we came up with the idea to provide the following patch. The 
story started in 
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-07/msg01472.html.
 
For our production environment, we need QEMU to report the amount of guest 
memory, taking into account hot-plugged memory.
 
Currently QEMU does not have a command to report this information.
 
Included patch introduces "info memory" (HMP) and “query-memory” (QMP) 
commands, which return, as separate values, the amount of statically allocated, 
hot-plugged, and "actual" (ballooned) memory.
 
Could you please consider if this functionality can be included into mainline 
QEMU?
 
Thank you,
Vadim
