Can you teach walk_free_mem_block to return the && of all
return calls, so caller knows whether it completed?

There will be two cases that can cause walk_free_mem_block to return without completing:
1) host requests to stop in advance
2) vq->broken

How about letting walk_free_mem_block simply return the value returned by its callback (i.e. virtio_balloon_send_free_pages)?

For host requests to stop, it returns "1", and the above only bails out when walk_free_mem_block return a "< 0" value.

Best,
Wei
