Make sure, at build time, that pfn array is big enough to hold a single
page. It happens to be true since the PAGE_SHIFT value at the moment is
20, which is 1M - exactly 256 4K balloon pages.

Ensure that elements of the callbacks array that correspond to
unavailable features are set to NULL; previously, they would be left
uninitialized.
Since the corresponding names array elements were explicitly set to
NULL, the uninitialized callback pointers would not actually be
dereferenced; however, the uninitialized callbacks elements would still
be read in vp_find_vqs_msix() and used to calculate the number of MSI-X
vectors required.

We managed to get confused about the shift direction at least once.
Let's switch to division/multiplcation instead. Add a number of pages
macro for this purpose. We still keep the order macro around too since
this is what alloc/free pages want.

free_page_order is a confusing name. It's not a page order
actually, it's the order of the block of memory we are hinting.
Rename to hint_block_order. Also, rename SIZE to BYTES
to make it clear it's the block size in bytes.

In case we have to migrate a ballon page to a newpage of another zone, the
managed page count of both zones is wrong. Paired with memory offlining
(which will adjust the managed page count), we can trigger kernel crashes
and all kinds of different symptoms.
One way to reproduce:
1. Start a QEMU guest with 4GB, no NUMA
2. Hotplug a 1GB DIMM and online the memory to ZONE_NORMAL
3. Inflate the balloon to 1GB
4. Unplug the DIMM (be quick, otherwise unmovable data ends up on it)
5. Observe /proc/zoneinfo
Node 0, zone Normal
pages free 16810

6. Do anything that requires some memory (e.g., inflate the balloon some
more). The OOM goes crazy and the system crashes

Fix it by properly adjusting the managed page count when migrating if
the zone changed. The managed page count of the zones now looks after
unplug of the DIMM (and after deflating the balloon) just like before
inflating the balloon (and plugging+onlining the DIMM).
We'll temporarily modify the totalram page count. If this ever becomes a
problem, we can fine tune by providing helpers that don't touch
the totalram pages (e.g., adjust_zone_managed_page_count()).
Please note that fixing up the managed page count is only necessary when
we adjusted the managed page count when inflating - only if we
don't have VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_DEFLATE_ON_OOM. With that feature, the
managed page count is not touched when inflating/deflating.

Instead of multiplying by page order, virtio balloon divided by page

virtio_balloon_shrinker_scan should return number of system pages freed,
but because it's calling functions that deal with balloon pages, it gets
confused and sometimes returns the number of balloon pages.
It does not matter practically as the exact number isn't
used, but it seems better to be consistent in case someone
starts using this API.
Further, if we ever tried to iteratively leak pages as
virtio_balloon_shrinker_scan tries to do, we'd run into issues - this is
because freed_pages was accumulating total freed pages, but was also
subtracted on each iteration from pages_to_free, which can result in
either leaking less memory than we were supposed to free, or more if
pages_to_free underruns.
On a system with 4K pages we are lucky that we are never asked to leak
more than 128 pages while we can leak up to 256 at a time,
but it looks like a real issue for systems with page size != 4K.

Once upon a time we used to set ->d_name of e.g. pipefs root
so that d_path() on pipes would work. These days it's
completely pointless - dentries of pipes are not even connected
to pipefs root. However, mount_pseudo() had set the root
dentry name (passed as the second argument) and callers
kept inventing names to pass to it. Including those that
didn't *have* any non-root dentries to start with...
All of that had been pointless for about 8 years now; it's
time to get rid of that cargo-culting...

by moving the config read operations into the related workqueue contexts.
The config_read_bitmap is used as a flag to the workqueue callbacks

The cmd_id_received is also renamed to cmd_id_received_cache, and
the value should be obtained via virtio_balloon_cmd_id_received.

Negotiation of the VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_FREE_PAGE_HINT feature indicates the
support of reporting hints of guest free pages to host via virtio-balloon.
Currenlty, only free page blocks of MAX_ORDER - 1 are reported. They are
obtained one by one from the mm free list via the regular allocation
function.
Host requests the guest to report free page hints by sending a new cmd id
to the guest via the free_page_report_cmd_id configuration register. When
the guest starts to report, it first sends a start cmd to host via the
free page vq, which acks to host the cmd id received. When the guest
finishes reporting free pages, a stop cmd is sent to host via the vq.
Host may also send a stop cmd id to the guest to stop the reporting.
VIRTIO_BALLOON_CMD_ID_STOP: Host sends this cmd to stop the guest
reporting.
VIRTIO_BALLOON_CMD_ID_DONE: Host sends this cmd to tell the guest that
the reported pages are ready to be freed.
Why does the guest free the reported pages when host tells it is ready to
free?
This is because freeing pages appears to be expensive for live migration.
free_pages() dirties memory very quickly and makes the live migraion not
converge in some cases. So it is good to delay the free_page operation
when the migration is done, and host sends a command to guest about that.
Why do we need the new VIRTIO_BALLOON_CMD_ID_DONE, instead of reusing
VIRTIO_BALLOON_CMD_ID_STOP?
This is because live migration is usually done in several rounds. At the
end of each round, host needs to send a VIRTIO_BALLOON_CMD_ID_STOP cmd to
the guest to stop (or say pause) the reporting. The guest resumes the
reporting when it receives a new command id at the beginning of the next
round. So we need a new cmd id to distinguish between "stop reporting" and
"ready to free the reported pages".

The OOM notifier is getting deprecated to use for the reasons:
- As a callout from the oom context, it is too subtle and easy to
generate bugs and corner cases which are hard to track;
- It is called too late (after the reclaiming has been performed).
Drivers with large amuont of reclaimable memory is expected to
release them at an early stage of memory pressure;
- The notifier callback isn't aware of oom contrains;
Link: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/7/12/314
This patch replaces the virtio-balloon oom notifier with a shrinker
to release balloon pages on memory pressure. The balloon pages are
given back to mm adaptively by returning the number of pages that the
reclaimer is asking for (i.e. sc->nr_to_scan).
Currently the max possible value of sc->nr_to_scan passed to the balloon
shrinker is SHRINK_BATCH, which is 128. This is smaller than the
limitation that only VIRTIO_BALLOON_ARRAY_PFNS_MAX (256) pages can be
returned via one invocation of leak_balloon. But this patch still
considers the case that SHRINK_BATCH or shrinker->batch could be changed
to a value larger than VIRTIO_BALLOON_ARRAY_PFNS_MAX, which will need to
do multiple invocations of leak_balloon.
Historically, the feature VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_DEFLATE_ON_OOM has been used
to release balloon pages on OOM. We continue to use this feature bit for
the shrinker, so the shrinker is only registered when this feature bit

fill_balloon doing memory allocations under balloon_lock
can cause a deadlock when leak_balloon is called from
virtballoon_oom_notify and tries to take same lock.
To fix, split page allocation and enqueue and do allocations outside the lock.
Here's a detailed analysis of the deadlock by Tetsuo Handa:
In leak_balloon(), mutex_lock(&vb->balloon_lock) is called in order to
serialize against fill_balloon(). But in fill_balloon(),
alloc_page(GFP_HIGHUSER[_MOVABLE] | __GFP_NOMEMALLOC | __GFP_NORETRY) is
called with vb->balloon_lock mutex held. Since GFP_HIGHUSER[_MOVABLE]
implies __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM | __GFP_IO | __GFP_FS, despite __GFP_NORETRY
is specified, this allocation attempt might indirectly depend on somebody
else's __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM memory allocation. And such indirect
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM memory allocation might call leak_balloon() via
virtballoon_oom_notify() via blocking_notifier_call_chain() callback via
out_of_memory() when it reached __alloc_pages_may_oom() and held oom_lock
mutex. Since vb->balloon_lock mutex is already held by fill_balloon(), it
will cause OOM lockup.

The virtio balloon driver contained a not-so-obvious invariant that
update_balloon_stats has to update exactly VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_NR counters
in order to send valid stats to the host. This commit fixes it by having
update_balloon_stats return the actual number of counters, and its
callers use it when pushing buffers to the stats virtqueue.
Note that it is still out of spec to change the number of counters
at run-time. "Driver MUST supply the same subset of statistics in all
buffers submitted to the statsq."

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.

The following commit 'fad7b7b27b6a (virtio_balloon: Use a workqueue
instead of "vballoon" kthread)' has added a regression. Original code with
kthread starts the thread inside probe and checks the necessity to update
balloon inside the thread immediately.
Nowadays the code behaves differently. Work is queued only on the first
command from the host after the negotiation. Thus there is a window
especially at the guest startup or the module reloading when the balloon
size is not updated until the notification from the host.
This patch adds balloon size check at the end of the probe to match
original behaviour.

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.

It was caused by non-lru page migration which needs compaction.h but
compaction.h doesn't include any header to be standalone.
I think proper header for non-lru page migration is migrate.h rather
than compaction.h because migrate.h has already headers needed to work
non-lru page migration indirectly like isolate_mode_t, migrate_mode
MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS.

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->stats_vq vs. vb->inflate_vq and vb->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.

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.
