Sorry, the QEMU implementation is confusing. FREE_PAGE_REPORT_S_DONE is translated to VIRTIO_BALLOON_CMD_ID_DONE QEMU: hw/virtio/virtio-balloon.c:virtio_balloon_free_page_report_notify() -> virtio_balloon_free_page_done(dev) -> s->free_page_report_status = FREE_PAGE_REPORT_S_DONE; virtio_notify_config(vdev); When the guest reads the config hw/virtio/virtio-balloon.c:virtio_balloon_get_config() -> if (dev->free_page_report_status == FREE_PAGE_REPORT_S_DONE) -> config.free_page_report_cmd_id = ... VIRTIO_BALLOON_CMD_ID_DONE Linux: drivers/virtio/virtio_balloon.c:report_free_page_func() -> if (cmd_id_received == VIRTIO_BALLOON_CMD_ID_DONE) { -> return_free_pages_to_mm() So it's VIRTIO_BALLOON_CMD_ID_DONE. -- Thanks, David / dhildenb _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
