similar to: [PATCH] virtio_balloon: fix up endian-ness for free cmd id

From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck at linux.intel.com> It can be confusing to have multiple features within the same driver that are using the same verbage. As such this patch is creating a union of free_page_report_cmd_id with free_page_hint_cmd_id so that we can clean-up the userspace code a bit in terms of readability while maintaining the functionality of legacy code.

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. v2->v3 ChangeLog: - rename cmd_id_received to cmd_id_received_cache, and have call sites read the latest value via virtio_balloon_cmd_id_received. (Still kept Cornelia and

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.

Page reporting features were never supported by legacy hypervisors. Supporting them poses a problem: should we use native endian-ness (like current code assumes)? Or little endian-ness like the virtio spec says? Rather than try to figure out, and since results of incorrect endian-ness are dire, let's just block this configuration.

Balloon is LE, it's cleaner to access it as such directly. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

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

Config space endian-ness is currently a mess: fields are not tagged with the correct endian-ness so it's easy to make mistakes like instanciating config space in native endian-ness. The following patches adding sparse tagging are currently in my tree. Lightly tested. As a follow-up, I plan to add new APIs that handle modern config space in a more efficient way (bypassing the version check).
