[PATCH] virtio_balloon: Fix endless deflation and inflation on arm64
The deflation request to the target, which isn't unaligned to the
guest page size causes endless deflation and inflation actions. For
example, we receive the flooding QMP events for the changes on memory
balloon's size after a deflation request to the unaligned target is
sent for the ARM64 guest, where we have 64KB base page size.

<The similar QMP events repeat>
Fix it by having the target aligned to the guest page size, 64KB
in this specific case. With this applied, no flooding QMP event
is observed and the memory balloon's size can be stablizied to
0x3ffe0000 soon after the deflation request is sent.

Why not simply align target down? target = ALIGN(num_pages, VIRTIO_BALLOON_PAGES_PER_PAGE); return target - vb->num_pages; -- Cheers, David / dhildenb
