commit 89da619bc18d79bca5304724c11d4ba3b67ce2c6 upstream.

Kernel panic when with high memory pressure, calltrace looks like,

It happens in the pagefault and results in double pagefault
during compacting pages when memory allocation fails.

Analysed the vmcore, the page leads to second pagefault is corrupted
with _mapcount=-256, but private=0.

It's caused by the race between migration and ballooning, and lock
missing in virtballoon_migratepage() of virtio_balloon driver.
This patch fix the bug.

<title>virtio_balloon: init 1st buffer in stats vq</title>

<id>urn:sha1:bcfe0f5b4a2bd6602cfd046ad52ffdfca59e4e82</id>
<content type='text'>
commit fc8653228c8588a120f6b5dad6983b7b61ff669e upstream.

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.

<title>balloon: check the number of available pages in leak balloon</title>

[ Upstream commit 37cf99e08c6fb4dcea0f9ad2b13b6daa8c76a711 ]

The balloon has a special mechanism that is subscribed to the oom
notification which leads to deflation for a fixed number of pages.
The number is always fixed even when the balloon is fully deflated.
But leak_balloon did not expect that the pages to deflate will be more
than taken, and raise a "BUG" in balloon_page_dequeue when page list
will be empty.

So, the simplest solution would be to check that the number of releases
pages is less or equal to the number taken pages.

<title>virtio-balloon: do not call blocking ops when !TASK_RUNNING</title>

[ Upstream commit 3d2a3774c1b046f548ebea0391a602fd5685a307 ]

virtio balloon has this code:
        wait_event_interruptible(vb-&gt;config_change,
                                 (diff = towards_target(vb)) != 0
                                 || vb-&gt;need_stats_update
                                 || kthread_should_stop()
                                 || freezing(current));

Which is a problem because towards_target() call might block after
wait_event_interruptible sets task state to TAST_INTERRUPTIBLE, causing
the task_struct::state collision typical of nesting of sleeping
primitives

See also http://lwn.net/Articles/628628/ or Thomas's
bug report
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.virtualization/24846
for a fuller explanation.

To fix, rewrite using wait_woken.

[ Upstream commit 88660f7fb94cda1f8f63ee92bfcd0db39a6361e2 ]

virtio spec requires that all drivers set DRIVER_OK
before using devices. While balloon isn't yet
included in the virtio 1 spec, previous spec versions
also required this.

virtio balloon might violate this rule: probe calls
kthread_run before setting DRIVER_OK, which might run
immediately and cause balloon to inflate/deflate.

To fix, call virtio_device_ready before running the kthread.

virtio spec requires drivers to set DRIVER_OK before using VQs.
This is set automatically after resume returns, virtio balloon
violated this rule by adding bufs, which causes the VQ to be used
directly within restore.

To fix, call virtio_device_ready before using VQ.

Defer config changed notifications that arrive during
probe/scan/freeze/restore.

This will allow drivers to set DRIVER_OK earlier, without worrying about
racing with config change interrupts.

This change will also benefit old hypervisors (before 2009)
that send interrupts without checking DRIVER_OK: previously,
the callback could race with driver-specific initialization.

This will also help simplify drivers.
