Subject: [PATCH kernel v5 2/5] virtio-balloon: define new feature bit and head struct
Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2016 16:43:14 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1480495397-23225-3-git-send-email-liang.z.li@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1480495397-23225-1-git-send-email-liang.z.li@intel.com>

Add a new feature which supports sending the page information with
a bitmap. The current implementation uses PFNs array, which is not
very efficient. Using bitmap can improve the performance of
inflating/deflating significantly

The page bitmap header will used to tell the host some information
about the page bitmap. e.g. the page size, page bitmap length and
start pfn.
