Let's properly adjust BALLOON_MIGRATE like the other drivers.

Note that the INFLATE/DEFLATE events are triggered from the core when
enqueueing/dequeueing pages.

[PATCH 6.12.y 1/3] mm/balloon_compaction: we cannot have isolated pages in the balloon list

[Sasha Levin]

From: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit fb05f992b6bbb4702307d96f00703ee637b24dbf ]

Patch series "mm/migration: rework movable_ops page migration (part 1)",
v2.

In the future, as we decouple "struct page" from "struct folio", pages
that support "non-lru page migration" -- movable_ops page migration such
as memory balloons and zsmalloc -- will no longer be folios.  They will
not have ->mapping, ->lru, and likely no refcount and no page lock.  But
they will have a type and flags 🙂

This is the first part (other parts not written yet) of decoupling
movable_ops page migration from folio migration.

In this series, we get rid of the ->mapping usage, and start cleaning up
the code + separating it from folio migration.

Migration core will have to be further reworked to not treat movable_ops
pages like folios.  This is the first step into that direction.

This patch (of 29):

The core will set PG_isolated only after mops->isolate_page() was called.
In case of the balloon, that is where we will remove it from the balloon
list.  So we cannot have isolated pages in the balloon list.

Let's drop this unnecessary check.

[PATCH 6.12.y 2/3] mm/balloon_compaction: convert balloon_page_delete() to balloon_page_finalize()

[Sasha Levin]

From: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit 15504b1163007bbfbd9a63460d5c14737c16e96d ]

Let's move the removal of the page from the balloon list into the single
caller, to remove the dependency on the PG_isolated flag and clarify
locking requirements.

Note that for now, balloon_page_delete() was used on two paths:

(1) Removing a page from the balloon for deflation through
    balloon_page_list_dequeue()
(2) Removing an isolated page from the balloon for migration in the
    per-driver migration handlers. Isolated pages were already removed from
    the balloon list during isolation.

So instead of relying on the flag, we can just distinguish both cases
directly and handle it accordingly in the caller.

We'll shuffle the operations a bit such that they logically make more
sense (e.g., remove from the list before clearing flags).

In balloon migration functions we can now move the balloon_page_finalize()
out of the balloon lock and perform the finalization just before dropping
the balloon reference.

Document that the page lock is currently required when modifying the
movability aspects of a page; hopefully we can soon decouple this from the
page lock.
