Description

Please vote Yes if you agree with all of the following. If you disagree, please vote No. If you don't have an opinion, please vote Abstain. I move that: The TC agrees to resolve the following specification issue: Issue #84: virtio-balloon: Update spec to include features hinting, poison, and reporting -------------------------------------- Update the device specification for virtio-balloon to include recently added features hinting, poison, and reporting. Both the hinting and poison feature were added some time ago, but not documented. The page reporting Linux implementation is already upstream and was included in the 5.8 [kernel](https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=b0c504f154718904ae49349147e3b7e6ae91ffdc) and the [QEMU](https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio-dev/202004/msg00180.html) portion is already upstream. Latest posted proposal ("[PATCH v8 0/3] virtio-spec: Add documentation for recently added balloon features") can be found at: https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio-comment/202008/msg00054.html -------------------------------------- The TC accepts the following proposed changes to the specification: -------------------------------------- https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio-dev/202004/msg00180.html) -------------------------------------- The TC agrees to include the above change(s) in specification version(s) "virtio-v1.2-cs01", and future versions of the specification. -------------------------------------- Reminder: A Voting Member must be active in a TC to maintain voting rights. As the Virtio TC has adopted a standing rule to conduct business only by electronic ballot, without Meetings, a Voting Member who fails to cast a ballot in two consecutive Work Product Ballots loses his or her voting rights at the close of the second ballot missed. --------------------------------------
