Sorry, the QEMU implementation is confusing. FREE_PAGE_REPORT_S_DONE is
translated to VIRTIO_BALLOON_CMD_ID_DONE
QEMU:
hw/virtio/virtio-balloon.c:virtio_balloon_free_page_report_notify()
-> virtio_balloon_free_page_done(dev)
-> s->free_page_report_status = FREE_PAGE_REPORT_S_DONE;
virtio_notify_config(vdev);
When the guest reads the config
hw/virtio/virtio-balloon.c:virtio_balloon_get_config()
-> if (dev->free_page_report_status == FREE_PAGE_REPORT_S_DONE)
-> config.free_page_report_cmd_id = ... VIRTIO_BALLOON_CMD_ID_DONE
Linux:
drivers/virtio/virtio_balloon.c:report_free_page_func()
-> if (cmd_id_received == VIRTIO_BALLOON_CMD_ID_DONE) {
-> return_free_pages_to_mm()
So it's VIRTIO_BALLOON_CMD_ID_DONE.
