[PATCH v11 6/6] virtio-balloon: VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_CMD_VQ
...+ else > + wait_event(vb->acked, virtqueue_get_buf(vq, &len)); This is something I didn't previously notice. As you always keep a single buffer in flight, you do not really need indirect at all. Just add all descriptors in the ring directly, then kick. E.g. virtqueue_add_first virtqueue_add_next virtqueue_add_last ? You also want a flag to avoid allocations but there's no need to do it per descriptor, set it on vq. -- MST

[PATCH v11 0/6] Virtio-balloon Enhancement
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, instead of one by one; and 2) cmdq: a new virtqueue to send commands between the device and driver. Currently, it supports commands to report memory stats (replace the old statq mechanism) and report guest unused pages. Liang Li
