I find it suspicious that neither unrealize nor reset
functions have been touched at all.
Are you sure you have thought through scenarious like
hot-unplug or disabling the device by guest?
OK. I think we can call balloon_free_page_stop in unrealize and reset.
+static void *virtio_balloon_poll_free_page_hints(void *opaque)
+{
+ VirtQueueElement *elem;
+ VirtIOBalloon *dev = opaque;
+ VirtQueue *vq = dev->free_page_vq;
+ uint32_t id;
+ size_t size;
What makes it safe to poke at this device from multiple threads?
I think that it would be safer to do it from e.g. BH.
Actually the free_page_optimization thread is the only user of
free_page_vq, and there is only one optimization thread each time. Would
this be safe enough?
Best,
Wei
