<hr />
<div>= Introduction =<br />
<br />
We will reserve some time for people to get together and discuss<br />
strategic decisions as well as other topics that are best solved within<br />
smaller groups. This time can also be used for hands-on hacking<br />
sessions.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in organizing such a group time event, please add<br />
it to the list '''before''' KVM Forum, so people have time to organize which<br />
one they will attend.<br />
<br />
Adding links to this wiki is restricted. If you have problems adding your<br />
BoF, please send it to the program committee at<br />
[mailto:kvm-forum-2017-pc@redhat.com kvm-forum-2017-pc@redhat.com].<br />

=== Better ballooning ===<br />
<br />
'''Summary:''' <br />
Let's figure out what virtio-balloon (or its successor) should look like.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Topics:''' ''(feel free to add more!)''<br />
* Inflation semantics: Should a host be able to target free pages specifically?<br />
* Deflation semantics: Should a guest be able to touch ballooned pages?<br />
* OOM handling: How can one avoid OOM-related guest impact (OOM-kills, swapping, etc.)?<br />
* Protocol (incl. efficient advertisement of pages)<br />
<br />
