similar to: [PATCH v2 1/2] virtio-balloon: initialize all vq callbacks

Ensure that elements of the array that correspond to unavailable features are set to NULL; previously, they would be left uninitialized. Since the corresponding names array elements were explicitly set to NULL, the uninitialized callback pointers would not actually be dereferenced; however, the uninitialized callbacks elements would still be read in vp_find_vqs_msix() and used to calculate the

After 86a559787e6f ("virtio-balloon: VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_FREE_PAGE_HINT"), the virtio-balloon device unconditionally specifies 4 virtqueues as the argument to find_vqs(), which means that 5 MSI-X vectors are required in order to assign one vector per VQ plus one for configuration changes. However, in cases where the virtio device only provides exactly as many MSI-X vectors as required for

This patch series is separated from the previous "Virtio-balloon Enhancement" series. The new feature, VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_FREE_PAGE_HINT, implemented by this series enables the virtio-balloon driver to report hints of guest free pages to the host. It can be used to accelerate live migration of VMs. Here is an introduction of this usage: Live migration needs to transfer the VM's

Negotiation of the VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_FREE_PAGE_HINT feature indicates the support of reporting hints of guest free pages to host via virtio-balloon. Host requests the guest to report free page hints by sending a new cmd id to the guest via the free_page_report_cmd_id configuration register. When the guest starts to report, the first element added to the free page vq is the cmd id given by host.

Existing virtio-blk protocol doesn't have DISCARD/WRITE ZEROES commands support, this will impact the performance when using SSD backend over file systems. Commit 88c85538 "virtio-blk: add discard and write zeroes features to specification"(see https://github.com/oasis-tcs/virtio-spec) extended existing virtio-blk protocol, adding extra DISCARD and WRITE ZEROES commands support.
