IMO "return-pages" sounds the best out of those and stays relatively consistent with the kernel and qemu terminology for this feature.
I personally don't see a huge problem with the current name, but I've also been staring at the words "free page reporting" for too long.
Right, I can see both reasons. But now that Peter raised it (again, sorry) at libvirt level reporting usually means "to report something to user". QEMU <-> KVM communication is too low level and since this is not being reported to user directly (even though it affects "stat-free-memory" attribute of the balloon) reporting does sound a bit weird. Let's wait for Peter's opinion. Michal
