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

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 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.

Add a new feature, VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_SG, which enables the transfer of balloon (i.e. inflated/deflated) pages using scatter-gather lists to the host. The implementation of the previous virtio-balloon is not very efficient, because the balloon 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
