[PATCH v1 6/6] virtio-balloon: Add support for aerating memory via hinting

Alexander Duyck
2019-06-19T22:33:43Z

From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@linux.intel.com>

Add support for aerating memory using the 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.
