Subject: [PATCH 10/13] virtio_balloon: add higher-order page inflation
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2026 02:56:13 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261027025616.1632690-11-kevinloughlin@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261027025616.1632690-1-kevinloughlin@google.com>
In confidential computing guests requiring page state transitions,
unaccepted memory tracking operates at the EFI unaccepted memory unit
granularity (typically 2MB / order 9 on x86). Inflating the balloon
with 4KB pages would prevent unaccepting the backing 2MB unit.
Inflate balloon pages at unaccepted_memory_order() when
virtballoon_cc_needs_state_transition() is true, while retaining
order-0 allocations for non-CoCo guests and CoCo guests that do not
use unaccepted memory transitions. When a higher-order balloon page
spans more 4KB balloon PFNs than VIRTIO_BALLOON_ARRAY_PFNS_MAX (256),
transmit its PFNs to the host in VIRTIO_BALLOON_ARRAY_PFNS_MAX chunks.
