Hi David,

Add a wakeup event for when the balloon is inflating or deflating.
Userspace can enable this wakeup event to prevent the system from
suspending while the balloon is being adjusted. This allows
/sys/power/wakeup_count to be used without breaking virtio_balloon's
cooperative memory management.


Can you add/share some more details

Using a simple flag that gets set when updating the balloon size and test-and-clear when testing for changes should be easier to get.

or sth like that.

What if we stop the workqueue and unload the driver -- see remove_common() -- won't you leave pm_stay_awake() wrongly set?

I'm a bit confused: Documentation/driver-api/pm/devices.rst documents

"
The :c:member:`power.can_wakeup` flag just records whether the device (and its driver) can physically support wakeup events. The
:c:func:`device_set_wakeup_capable()` routine affects this flag.
"

...

"
Whether or not a device is capable of issuing wakeup events is a hardware matter, and the kernel is responsible for keeping track of it.
"

But how is the virtio-balloon device capable of waking up the machine? Your patch merely implies that the virtio-baloon device is capable to prohbit going to sleep.

What am I missing?
