When init_vqs runs, virtio_balloon.stats is either uninitialized or contains stale values. The host updates its state with garbage data because it has no way of knowing that this is just a marker buffer used for signaling. This patch updates the stats before pushing the initial buffer. Alternative fixes: * Push an empty buffer in init_vqs. Not easily done with the current virtio implementation and violates the spec "Driver MUST supply the same subset of statistics in all buffers submitted to the statsq". * Push a buffer with invalid tags in init_vqs. Violates the same spec clause, plus "invalid tag" is not really defined. Note: the spec says: When using the legacy interface, the device SHOULD ignore all values in the first buffer in the statsq supplied by the driver after device initialization. Note: Historically, drivers supplied an uninitialized buffer in the first buffer. Unfortunately QEMU does not seem to implement the recommendation even for the legacy interface.
