[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 6/8] Add event notification for guest balloon changes

[Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@redhat.com>]

From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange@redhat.com>

After setting a balloon target value, applications have to
continually poll 'query-balloon' to determine whether the
guest has reacted to this request. The virtio-balloon backend
knows exactly when the guest has reacted though, and thus it
is possible to emit a JSON event to tell the mgmt application
whenever the guest balloon changes.

This introduces a new 'qemu_balloon_changed()' API which is
to be called by balloon driver backends, whenever they have
a change in balloon value. This takes the 'actual' balloon
value, as would be found in the BalloonInfo struct.

The qemu_balloon_change API emits a JSON monitor event which
looks like:

  {"timestamp": {"seconds": 1337162462, "microseconds": 814521},
   "event": "BALLOON_CHANGE", "data": {"actual": 944766976}}

* balloon.c, balloon.h: Introduce qemu_balloon_changed() for
  emitting balloon change events on the monitor
* hw/virtio-balloon.c: Invoke qemu_balloon_changed() whenever
  the guest changes the balloon actual value
* monitor.c, monitor.h: Define QEVENT_BALLOON_CHANGE

+BALLOON_CHANGE
+----------

+Emitted when the guest changes the actual BALLOON level. This
+value is equivalent to the 'actual' field return by the
+'query-balloon' command

+Data:

+- "actual": actual level of the guest memory balloon in bytes (json-number)
