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?

Okay, I got what you meant here, 10 seconds is too long, I plan to change it to 3 seconds as we discussed.
     Thanks for your patch.
