This is what I am saying. Having watched that patchset being developed,
I think that's simply because processing blocks required mm core
changes, which Wei was not up to pushing through.
If we did
while (1) {
alloc_pages
add_buf
get_buf
free_pages
}
We'd end up passing the same page to balloon again and again.
So we end up reserving lots of memory with alloc_pages instead.
What I am saying is that now that you are developing
infrastructure to iterate over free pages,
FREE_PAGE_HINT should be able to use it too.
Whether that's possible might be a good indication of
whether the new mm APIs make sense.

And that is fine. But there isn't really such a big difference with
FREE_PAGE_HINT except FREE_PAGE_HINT triggers upon host request and not
in response to guest load.
