[PATCH v5 QEMU 1/3] virtio-ballon: Implement support for page poison tracking feature

From: Alexander Duyck
Date: Mon Aug 12 2019 - 17:34:37 EST


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

We need to make certain to advertise support for page poison tracking if
we want to actually get data on if the guest will be poisoning pages. So
if free page hinting is active we should add page poisoning support and
let the guest disable it if it isn't using it.

Page poisoning will result in a page being dirtied on free. As such we
cannot really avoid having to copy the page at least one more time since
we will need to write the poison value to the destination. As such we can
just ignore free page hinting if page poisoning is enabled as it will
actually reduce the work we have to do.
