This patch series implements the follow two things: 1) Optimization of balloon page transfer: instead of transferring balloon pages to host one by one, the new mechanism transfers them in chunks. 2) A mechanism to report info of guest unused pages: the pages have been unused at some time between when host sent command and when guest reported them. Host uses that by tracking memory changes and

Add a new feature, VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_PAGE_CHUNKS, which enables the transfer of the ballooned (i.e. inflated/deflated) pages in chunks to the host. The implementation of the previous virtio-balloon is not very efficient, because the ballooned pages are transferred to the host one by one. Here is the breakdown of the time in percentage spent on each step of the balloon inflating process (inflating

Oh, just some trivial things (e.g. use a field in the header, hdr->chunks to indicate the number of chunks in the payload) that wasn't confirmed.

This patch series implements two optimizations: 1) transfer pages in chuncks between the guest and host; 2) transfer the guest unused pages to the host so that they can be skipped to migrate in live migration. Changes: v8->v9: 1) Split the two new features, VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_BALLOON_CHUNKS and VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_MISC_VQ, which were mixed together in the previous implementation; 2) Simpler
