Hi Daniel,
thanks for reply. Well, it seems that I'm a bit ahead of time here,
the balloning support didn't even make it to QEMU trunk...
So there is not big hurry with it :)
To answer Your questions:
can you detect its presence at runtime ?
from a slight look
to patches yes, it will be possible using monitor
"info ballon" command which will print either
"Ballooning not activated in VM" or "balloon: actual=%d", so I guess
this should be sufficient.
I doubt anybody would object code adding the feature, the problem
is getting the code and something that fail/work reliably depending
on the vailability of the driver.
Seems like this should not be that complex.
I'll give ballooning patches
a try and if it works well, I'll try to prepare some libvirt patches.
I'll let You know about progress OK?
Daniel
regards
nik
