similar to: [PATCH v2 1/4] mm/balloon_compaction: list interfaces

Introduce interfaces for ballooning enqueueing and dequeueing of a list of pages. These interfaces reduce the overhead of storing and restoring IRQs by batching the operations. In addition they do not panic if the list of pages is empty. Cc: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst at redhat.com> Cc: Jason Wang <jasowang at redhat.com> Cc: linux-mm at kvack.org Cc: virtualization at

From: Wei Wang <wei.w.wang at intel.com> A #GP is reported in the guest when requesting balloon inflation via virtio-balloon. The reason is that the virtio-balloon driver has removed the page from its internal page list (via balloon_page_pop), but balloon_page_enqueue_one also calls "list_del" to do the removal. This is necessary when it's used from balloon_page_enqueue_list,

From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst.redhat.com> 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(),
