[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/4] virtio-balloon: make stats virtqueue length 1

[Roman Kagan]

The protocol for virtio-balloon stats virtqueue doesn't allow more than
one element in the virtqueue.

So, instead of trying to compensate for guest misbehavior if it sends
new data before the slot has been released by the host, just define the
stats virtqueue length to 1 initially and rely on the generic virtio
code to handle overflows.
