similar to: [PATCH v1 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.

virtio-ccw has deadlock issues with reading config registers inside the interrupt context, so we tweak the virtballoon_changed implementation by moving the config read operations into the related workqueue contexts.

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. Reported-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger at

This patch series is separated from the previous "Virtio-balloon Enhancement" series. The new feature, VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_FREE_PAGE_HINT, implemented by this series enables the virtio-balloon driver to report hints of guest free pages to the host. It can be used to accelerate live migration of VMs. Here is an introduction of this usage: Live migration needs to transfer the VM's

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. 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, the first element added to the free page vq is the cmd id given by host.
