[RFC PATCH 10/11] virtio-balloon: Add support for aerating memory via bubble hinting

Alexander Duyck
2019-05-30T21:54:55Z

Add support for aerating memory using the bubble hinting feature provided
by virtio-balloon. Bubble 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.
