    Subject[PATCH v18 10/10] virtio-balloon: don't report free pages when page poisoning is enabled
    Date
    The guest free pages should not be discarded by the live migration thread
    when page poisoning is enabled with PAGE_POISONING_NO_SANITY=n, because
    skipping the transfer of such poisoned free pages will trigger false
    positive when new pages are allocated and checked on the destination.
    This patch skips the reporting of free pages in the above case.
