[ Upstream commit fc8653228c8588a120f6b5dad6983b7b61ff669e ]

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.

[ Upstream commit 997e120843e82609c8d99a9d5714e6cf91e14cbe ]

Balloon device is frequently used as a mean of cooperative memory control
in between guest and host to manage memory overcommitment. This is the
typical case for any hosting workload when KVM guest is provided for
end-user.

Though there is a problem in this setup. The end-user and hosting provider
have signed SLA agreement in which some amount of memory is guaranted for
the guest. The good thing is that this memory will be given to the guest
when the guest will really need it (f.e. with OOM in guest and with
VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_DEFLATE_ON_OOM configuration flag set). The bad thing
is that end-user does not know this.

Balloon by default reduce the amount of memory exposed to the end-user
each time when the page is stolen from guest or returned back by using
adjust_managed_page_count and thus /proc/meminfo shows reduced amount
of memory.

Fortunately the solution is simple, we should just avoid to call
adjust_managed_page_count with VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_DEFLATE_ON_OOM set.

<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.

unregister_virtio_device() (in virtio_pci_release_dev() more

[ Upstream commit f68b992bbb474641881932c61c92dcfa6f5b3689 ]

During my compaction-related stuff, I encountered a bug
with ballooning.

With repeated inflating and deflating cycle, guest memory(
ie, cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemTotal) is decreased and
couldn't be recovered.

The reason is balloon_lock doesn't cover release_pages_balloon
so struct virtio_balloon fields could be overwritten by race
of fill_balloon(e,g, vb-&gt;*pfns could be critical).

This patch fixes it in my test.
