Nitesh Narayan Lal July 10, 2019, 7:51 p.m. UTC
Enables the kernel to negotiate VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_HINTING feature with the
host. If it is available and page_hinting_flag is set to true, page_hinting
is enabled and its callbacks are configured along with the max_pages count
which indicates the maximum number of pages that can be isolated and hinted
at a time. Currently, only free pages of order >= (MAX_ORDER - 2) are
reported. To prevent any false OOM max_pages count is set to 16.

By default page_hinting feature is enabled and gets loaded as soon
as the virtio-balloon driver is loaded. However, it could be disabled
by writing the page_hinting_flag which is a virtio-balloon parameter.

In Alex's patch, I really like it that he's passing pages as sg
entries. IMHO that's both cleaner and allows seamless
support for arbitrary page sizes.

... passing native endian-ness values to host creates pain for
cross-endian configurations.

It would be nicer to disable the feature bit then, or fail probe
completely.

I especially like passing full addresses and sizes instead of PFNs and
orders (compared to Alex's v1, where he would pass PFNs and orders).
