[PATCH v34 2/4] virtio-balloon: VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_FREE_PAGE_HINT

From: Wei Wang
Date: Mon Jun 25 2018 - 08:31:17 EST

Negotiation of the VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_FREE_PAGE_HINT feature indicates the
support of reporting hints of guest free pages to host via virtio-balloon.

Host requests the guest to report free page hints by sending a new cmd id
to the guest via the free_page_report_cmd_id configuration register.

As the first step here, virtio-balloon only reports free page hints from
the max order (i.e. 10) free page list to host. This has generated similar
good results as reporting all free page hints during our tests.

When the guest starts to report, it first sends a start cmd to host via
the free page vq, which acks to host the cmd id received, and tells it the
hint size (e.g. 4MB each on x86). When the guest finishes the reporting,
a stop cmd is sent to host via the vq.

TODO:
- support reporting free page hints from smaller order free page lists
when there is a need/request from users.
