bhyve How to enable memory ballooning in bhyve?

[hardworkingnewbie]

Hi,

I do know that there is the virtio_balloon driver in the FreeBSD kernel, which allows a hypervisor to request memory back from a guest OS.

1. Does this work with bhyve?
2. How to configure bhyve so, that it uses memory ballooning?

Thanks!

virtio_balloon(4) is used on guest. It provides interface to host(hypervisor) to manage it if it supports. Afaik bhyve is not capable of it yet.

Is there any more up-to-date information on if Bhyve supports this on 14.1?
