/*
 * Common interface for implementing a memory balloon, including support
 * for migration of pages inflated in a memory balloon.
 *
 * Balloon page migration makes use of the general "movable_ops page migration"
 * feature.
 *
 * page->private is used to reference the responsible balloon device.
 * That these pages have movable_ops, and which movable_ops apply,
 * is derived from the page type (PageOffline()) combined with the
 * PG_movable_ops flag (PageMovableOps()).
 *
 * Once the page type and the PG_movable_ops are set, migration code
 * can initiate page isolation by invoking the
 * movable_operations()->isolate_page() callback
 *
 * As long as page->private is set, the page is either on the balloon list
 * or isolated for migration. If page->private is not set, the page is
 * either still getting inflated, or was deflated to be freed by the balloon
 * driver soon. Isolation is impossible in both cases.
 *
 * As the page isolation scanning step a compaction thread does is a lockless
 * procedure (from a page standpoint), it might bring some racy situations while
 * performing balloon page migration. In order to sort out these racy scenarios
 * and safely perform balloon's page migration we must, always, ensure following
 * these simple rules:
 *
 *   i. Inflation/deflation must set/clear page->private under the
 *      balloon_pages_lock
 *
 *  ii. isolation or dequeueing procedure must remove the page from balloon
 *      device page list under balloon_pages_lock
