Overview
The virtio_balloon device driver provides support for VirtIO memory balloon devices.
The memory balloon allows the guest to, at the request of the hypervisor, return memory allocated to the hypervisor so it can be made available to other guests. The hypervisor can later signal the balloon to return the memory.
