From: Tianyu Lan <redacted> Current code has assumption that balloon request memory size aligns with 2MB. But actually Hyper-V doesn't guarantee such alignment. When balloon driver receives non-aligned balloon request, it produces warning and balloon up more memory than requested in order to keep 2MB alignment. Remove the warning and balloon up memory according to actual requested memory size.

This looks correct but I've noticed we also have
/* Refuse to balloon below the floor, keep the 2M granularity. */
if (avail_pages < num_pages || avail_pages - num_pages < floor) {
pr_warn("Balloon request will be partially fulfilled. %s\n",
avail_pages < num_pages ? "Not enough memory." :
"Balloon floor reached.");
num_pages = avail_pages > floor ? (avail_pages - floor) : 0;
num_pages -= num_pages % PAGES_IN_2M;
}
in balloon_up(). If 2M granularity is not guaranteed in the first place
we can't keep it.
Also, when alloc_balloon_pages() is called with 2M alloc_unit and the
region is not 2M aligned, it will return someething < num_pages, the
next condition, however, only checks for 0:
if (alloc_unit != 1 && num_ballooned == 0) {
alloc_unit = 1;
continue;
}
we will proceed to sending a response to server and try doing next
iteration by calling alloc_balloon_pages() with 2M alloc_unit again,
this will finally return 0 and we will switch to 4k. I think we can
optimize this to:
if (alloc_unit != 1 && num_ballooned != num_pages) {
alloc_unit = 1;
continue;
}
