Everything should be LE when using virtio-1, but
the linux balloon driver does not seem to care about that.

Smatch complains that we might not initialize "queue".  The issue is
callers like setup_vq() from virtio_pci_modern.c where "num" could be
something like 2 and "vring_align" is 64.  In that case, vring_size() is
less than PAGE_SIZE.  It won't happen in real life, but we're getting
the value of "num" from a register so it's not really possible to tell
what value it holds with static analysis.

Let's just silence the warning.

The spec says: after writing 0 to device_status, the driver MUST wait
for a read of device_status to return 0 before reinitializing the
device.

Add a new field, VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_AVAIL, to virtio_balloon memory
statistics protocol, corresponding to 'Available' in /proc/meminfo.

It indicates to the hypervisor how big the balloon can be inflated
without pushing the guest system to swap.

<title>virtio_balloon: Allow to resize and update the balloon stats in parallel</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fd0e21c31e1e6383af978239d07ced6e4e5d82c3</id>
<content type='text'>
The virtio balloon statistics are not updated when the balloon
is being resized. But it seems that both tasks could be done
in parallel.

stats_handle_request() updates the statistics in the balloon
structure and then communicates with the host.

update_balloon_stats() calls all_vm_events() that just reads
some per-CPU variables. The values might change during and
after the call but it is expected and happens even without
this patch.

update_balloon_stats() also calls si_meminfo(). It is a bit
more complex function. It too just reads some variables and
looks lock-less safe. In each case, it seems to be called
lock-less on several similar locations, e.g. from post_status()
in dm_thread_func(), or from vmballoon_send_get_target().

The communication with the host is done via a separate virtqueue,
see vb-&gt;stats_vq vs. vb-&gt;inflate_vq and vb-&gt;deflate_vq. Therefore
it could be used in parallel with fill_balloon() and leak_balloon().

This patch splits the existing work into two pieces. One is for
updating the balloon stats. The other is for resizing of the balloon.
It seems that they can be proceed in parallel without any
extra locking.

<id>urn:sha1:fad7b7b27b6a168ca8ebc84482043886f837b89d</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch moves the deferred work from the "vballoon" kthread into a
system freezable workqueue.

We do not need to maintain and run a dedicated kthread. Also the event
driven workqueues API makes the logic much easier. Especially, we do
not longer need an own wait queue, wait function, and freeze point.

The conversion is pretty straightforward. One cycle of the main loop
is put into a work. The work is queued instead of waking the kthread.

fill_balloon() and leak_balloon() have a limit for the amount of modified
pages. The work re-queues itself when necessary. For this, we make
fill_balloon() to return the number of really modified pages.
Note that leak_balloon() already did this.

virtballoon_restore() queues the work only when really needed.

The only complication is that we need to prevent queuing the work
when the balloon is being removed. It was easier before because the
kthread simply removed itself from the wait queue. We need an
extra boolean and spin lock now.

My initial idea was to use a dedicated workqueue. Michael S. Tsirkin
suggested using a system one. Tejun Heo confirmed that the system
workqueue has a pretty high concurrency level (256) by default.
Therefore we need not be afraid of too long blocking.
