Okay, so this is really XEN specific (especially looking at Andrew's reply). All other balloon drivers told the hypervisor that the inflated page is dead and it is not going to be use before telling the hypervisor otherwise. Mapping to user space would violate that contract (and even be considered harmful in some hypervisor implementations). > >> >> >> commit 2f085ff37d08ecbc7849d5abb9424bd7927dda1d > > I guess you meant 77c4adf6a6df6f8f39807eaed48eb73d0eb4261e?
