Why it is necessary to sleep for a while, I don't think adding
a sleep
is a good way to solve problem.
Please try to figure out the root cause.

DB recently change the code of get domain memory balloon value as in patch:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-May/msg00871.html
If QEMU supports the BALLOON_EVENT QMP event, then we can
avoid invoking 'query-balloon' when returning XML or the
domain info.
And in qemu patch:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-05/msg02833.html
DB also emphasis in description:
It is important to note that events are only discarded when they are
obsoleted by a newer event. So an application is guarenteed to see the
final balloon event, with at worst a 1 second delay.
So when after do memory change, for dump domain xml to get balloon
value, it will be controlled in 1 second delay.
When i check with QMP with query-events commands on
qemu-kvm-rhev-0.12.1.2-2.337.el6.x86_64:
{ "execute": "query-events"}
{"error": {"class": "CommandNotFound", "desc": "The command query-events
has not been found", "data": {"name": "query-events"}}}
and this also in my log, so my qemu did not support this BALLOON_EVENT
and using query-balloon to get current memory, and indeed
'query-balloon' is spotted in my log.
This back to
# vim src/qemu/qemu_driver.c +5330
/* Don't delay if someone's using the monitor, just use
* existing most recent data instead */
so most recent data will be returned with query-balloon, that means if
we query too fast, the result will not be accurate.
I think add little time sleep is reasonable here for now, but after qemu
support BALLOON_EVENT, then the sleep will be no use.
So, what do you think?
