[PATCH 1/2] virtio_balloon: fix race by fill and leak

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->*pfns could be critical).

This patch fixes it in my test.

[PATCH 2/2] virtio_balloon: fix race between migration and ballooning

In balloon_page_dequeue, pages_lock should cover the loop
(ie, list_for_each_entry_safe). Otherwise, the cursor page could
be isolated by compaction and then list_del by isolation could
poison the page->lru.{prev,next} so the loop finally could
access wrong address like this. This patch fixes the bug.

I think this will cause deadlocks.

pages_lock now nests within page lock, balloon_page_putback
nests them in the reverse order.

Did you test this with lockdep? You really should for
locking changes, and I'd expect it to warn about this.

Also, there's another issue there I think: after isolation page could
also get freed before we try to lock it.

We really must take a page reference before touching
the page.

I think we need something like the below to fix this issue.
Could you please try this out, and send Tested-by?
I will repost as a proper patch if this works for you.
