Subject: [PATCH v1 0/2] virtio-balloon: disallow postcopy with VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_FREE_PAGE_HINT
Date: Wed,  7 Jul 2021 16:06:53 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210707140655.30982-1-david@redhat.com> (raw)

Working on getting migration for virtio-mem completely right [1] I realized
that virtio-balloon with VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_FREE_PAGE_HINT paired with
postcopy might be shaky. Actually testing it, I directly found two issues,
one of both being far from trivial to fix.

Let's disallow postcopy with "free-page-hint=on".
