[PATCH for QEMU v2] virtio-balloon: Add option cont-pages to set VIRTIO_BALLOON_VQ_INFLATE_CONT

From: Hui Zhu
Date: Sun Mar 22 2020 - 12:06:29 EST


If the guest kernel has many fragmentation pages, use virtio_balloon
will split THP of QEMU when it calls MADV_DONTNEED madvise to release
the balloon pages.
Set option cont-pages to on will open flags VIRTIO_BALLOON_VQ_INFLATE_CONT
and set continuous pages order to THP order.
Then It will get continuous pages PFN from VQ icvq use use madvise
MADV_DONTNEED release the THP page.
This will handle the THP split issue.
