[PATCH v4 0/4] vmw_balloon: Compaction and shrinker support
VMware balloon enhancements: adding support for memory compaction,
memory shrinker (to prevent OOM) and splitting of refused pages to
prevent recurring inflations.
Patches 1-2: Support for compaction
Patch 3: Support for memory shrinker - disabled by default
Patch 4: Split refused pages to improve performance
v3->v4:
* "get around to" comment [Michael]
* Put list_add under page lock

[PATCH v4 1/2] mm/balloon_compaction: avoid duplicate page removal
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,

I think, *throughout the tree* is not appropriate* here. This patch
has fixed it within the file. With that,

[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).

[PATCH v11 0/7] make balloon pages movable by compaction
Memory fragmentation introduced by ballooning might reduce significantly
the number of 2MB contiguous memory blocks that can be used within a guest,
thus imposing performance penalties associated with the reduced number of
transparent huge pages that could be used by the guest workload.
