ATM VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_PAGE_POISON simply avoids freeing the pages at the moment. 1+2 above are exactly a way to implement VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_PAGE_POISON such that will still bring performance gains. > > Requirement 2 requires some kind of madvise that > > will save the poison e.g. in the VMA. > > > > Not a blocker for sure ... > > > > > >> --- > >> drivers/virtio/Kconfig | 1 + > >> drivers/virtio/virtio_balloon.c | 47 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > >> include/uapi/linux/virtio_balloon.h | 1 + > >> 3 files changed, 49 insertions(+) > >> > >> diff --git a/drivers/virtio/Kconfig b/drivers/virtio/Kconfig > >> index 078615cf2afc..d45556ae1f81 100644 > >> --- a/drivers/virtio/Kconfig > >> +++ b/drivers/virtio/Kconfig > >> @@ -58,6 +58,7 @@ config VIRTIO_BALLOON > >> tristate "Virtio balloon driver" > >> depends on VIRTIO > >> select MEMORY_BALLOON > >> + select PAGE_HINTING > >> ---help--- > >> This driver supports increasing and decreasing the amount > >> of memory within a KVM guest. > >> diff --git a/drivers/virtio/virtio_balloon.c b/drivers/virtio/virtio_balloon.c > >> index 226fbb995fb0..dee9f8f3ad09 100644 > >> --- a/drivers/virtio/virtio_balloon.c > >> +++ b/drivers/virtio/virtio_balloon.c > >> @@ -19,6 +19,7 @@ > >> #include > >> #include > >> #include > >> +#include > >> > >> /* > >> * Balloon device works in 4K page units.
