[PATCH v2 5/5] virtio-balloon: Add support for providing page hints to host

From: Alexander Duyck
Date: Wed Jul 24 2019 - 13:07:29 EST


From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add support for the page hinting feature provided by virtio-balloon.
Hinting differs from the regular balloon functionality in that is is
much less durable than a standard memory balloon. Instead of creating a
list of pages that cannot be accessed the pages are only inaccessible
while they are being indicated to the virtio interface. Once the
interface has acknowledged them they are placed back into their respective
free lists and are once again accessible by the guest system.
