Linux Virtualization - Jan 2019 - [PATCH v2 0/2] virtio-balloon: tweak config_changed

Since virtio-ccw doesn't work with accessing to the config space
inside an interrupt context, this patch series avoids that issue by
moving the config register accesses to the related workqueue contexts.

v1->v2 ChangeLog:
    - add config_read_bitmap to indicate to the workqueue callbacks about
      the necessity of reading the related config fields.

Wei Wang (2):
  virtio-balloon: tweak config_changed implementation
  virtio-balloon: improve update_balloon_size_func

virtio-ccw has deadlock issues with reading the config space inside the
interrupt context, so we tweak the virtballoon_changed implementation
by moving the config read operations into the related workqueue contexts.
The config_read_bitmap is used as a flag to the workqueue callbacks
about the related config fields that need to be read.

There is no need to update the balloon actual register when there is no
ballooning request. This patch avoids update_balloon_size when diff is 0.

Bitmap handling looks sane to me.

It seems that you never initialize this bitmap. Probably harmless here
but generally using uninitialized memory isn't good.

This will not achieve what you are trying to do,
which is cancel reporting if it's in progress.

You need to re-read each time you compare to cmd_id_active.

An API similar to
	u32 virtio_balloon_cmd_id_received(vb)
seems to be called for, and I would rename cmd_id_received to
cmd_id_received_cache to make sure we caught all users.
