...to have the control plane and data plane separated. In other words, the control related commands of each feature will be sent via the ctrl_vq, meanwhile each feature may have its own vq used as a data plane. Free page report is the the first new feature controlled via ctrl_vq, and a new cmd class, VIRTIO_BALLOON_CTRLQ_CLASS_FREE_PAGE, is added. Currently, this feature has two cmds: VIRTIO_BALLOON_FREE_PAGE_F_START: This cmd is sent from host to guest to start the free page report work. VIRTIO_BALLOON_FREE_PAGE_F_STOP: This cmd is bidirectional. The guest would send the cmd to the host to indicate the reporting work is done. The...

This patch series enhances the existing virtio-balloon with the following new features: 1) fast ballooning: transfer ballooned pages between the guest and host in chunks using sgs, instead of one array each time; and 2) free page block reporting: a new virtqueue to report guest free pages to the host. The second feature can be used to accelerate live migration of VMs. Here are some details: Live
