[PATCH v17 RESUBMIT QEMU 0/3] virtio-balloon: add support for providing free page reporting

2020-04-08 Thread Alexander Duyck
This series provides an asynchronous means of reporting free guest pages
to QEMU through virtio-balloon so that the memory associated with those
pages can be dropped and reused by other processes and/or guests on the
host. Using this it is possible to avoid unnecessary I/O to disk and
greatly improve performance in the case of memory overcommit on the host.

I originally submitted this patch series[1] back on February 11th 2020,
but at that time I was focused primarily on the kernel portion of this
patch set. However as of April 7th those patches are now included in
Linus's kernel tree[2] and so I thought I should resubmit the QEMU side of
this for inclusion so that the feature will be available in QEMU hopefully
by the time the 5.7 kernel tree is released.
