Subject: [PATCH v7 30/31] virtio_balloon: implement VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_DEVICE_INIT_ON_INFLATE
Date: Tue, 12 May 2026 17:07:46 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3b2729a80c19e634f9bc93ca2a8baed8cd760b45.1778616612.git.mst@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1778616612.git.mst@redhat.com>
When the device offers DEVICE_INIT_ON_INFLATE (bit 7), the device
initializes inflated pages and returns a per-page bitmap indicating
which pages were successfully initialized.
The driver appends a device-writable bitmap buffer to each inflate
descriptor chain via virtqueue_add_sgs. After the host acknowledges,
the driver checks bitmap bits (bounded by used_len) and marks pages
with SetPageZeroed.
tell_host() returns used_len from virtqueue_get_buf(). Bitmap reads
are bounded: fill_balloon() and virtballoon_migratepage() only trust
bits within the used_len range.
On deflate, release_pages_balloon checks PageZeroed per page and
uses put_page_zeroed for pages the host initialized, propagating
the zeroed hint to the buddy allocator.
If inflate_vq has fewer than 2 descriptors, probe fails with
-ENOSPC. If PAGE_POISON is negotiated with non-zero poison_val,
the feature is cleared in validate().
See the virtio spec change:
