[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 1/3] balloon: Don't try fetching info if guest is unresponsive

[Amit Shah]

If the guest is unresponsive and 'info balloon' is invoked, the monitor
process just hangs waiting for info from the guest. Return the most
recent balloon data in that case.

A new timer is added, which on expiry, just presents the old data to the
monitor callback functions.

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=623903
