Right? You probably get away with it because current qemu will service you immediately. You could spin here in this case for the moment. There's a second call to tell_host(): > + /* > + * balloon's page migration 2nd step -- deflate "page" > + * > + * It's safe to delete page->lru here because this page is at > + * an isolated migration list, and this step is expected to happen here > + */ > + balloon_page_delete(page); > + vb->num_pfns = VIRTIO_BALLOON_PAGES_PER_PAGE; > + set_page_pfns(vb->pfns, page); > + tell_host(vb, vb->deflate_vq); The first one can be delayed, the second one can be delayed if the host didn't ask for VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_MUST_TELL_HOST (qemu doesn't). We could implement a proper request queue for these, and return -EAGAIN if the queue fills. Though in practice, it's not important (it might help performance).
