Hi, XENUTIL is actually part of the XS legacy PV drivers (which are only used for XP and 2K3, OS that will both go EOL pretty soon). These are very much in maintenance-only mode and because of that, and other issues, we have not released the source. The actively developed and maintained PV drivers (for Vista onwards) can be found on github. The balloon code is part of the xenbus driver and you can find it at https://github.com/xenserver/win-xenbus/blob/master/src/xenbus/balloon.c
As for memory cleaning, you'll find that this is not done. __BalloonAllocatePagesForMdl() makes use of MmAllocatePagesForMdlEx() which has a MM_DONT_ZERO_ALLOCATION option to avoid touching pages that are allocated. This is done to avoid needlessly faulting in populate-on-demand pages which will be immediately handed back to Xen.

I'm particularly interested in optimizing XENUTIL: BalloonWorkerThread. What I want to achieve is to disable the memory cleaning process while the balloon is inflated in guest. The ballooning code is quite slow in case of windows but very fast (I think no cleaning is done) for Linux PV guests. Any ideas or help to get me started ? Thanks. XS rocks !!
