Can it work well? I mean is release the memory and back it to host.

 I have found a
 few combinations of xen/kernel which don't work well but
 otherwise I find it works for my case.  
 Currently xen 4.9.1, 4.1.47 dom0 kernel, mix of
 Ubuntu 16.04 4.4 and 4.14 kernels in pv guests.  I use the
 tmem 
 module to automatically balloon the
 guest up/down as memory pressure changes.
