+VFIO device gets DMA failures when virtio-balloon leak from highmem to lowmem
+
+Is there any known conflict between VFIO passthrough device and virtio-balloon?
+
+The VM has:
+1. 4GB system memory
+2. one VFIO passthrough device which supports high address memory DMA and uses GFP_HIGHUSER pages.
+3. Memory balloon device with 4GB target.
+
+When setting the memory balloon target to 1GB and 4GB in loop during runtime (I used the command "virsh qemu-monitor-command debian --hmp --cmd balloon 1024"), the VFIO device DMA randomly gets failure.
+
+More clues:
+1. configure 2GB system memory (no highmem) VM, no issue with similar operations
+2. setting the memory balloon to higher like 8GB, no issue with similar operations
+
+I'm also trying to narrow down this issue. It's appreciated for that you guys may share some thoughts.
