[PATCH 4.17 29/45] vmw_balloon: fixing double free when batching mode is off

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

4.17-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Gil Kupfer <gilkup@gmail.com>

commit b23220fe054e92f616b82450fae8cd3ab176cc60 upstream.

The balloon.page field is used for two different purposes if batching is
on or off. If batching is on, the field point to the page which is used
to communicate with with the hypervisor. If it is off, balloon.page
points to the page that is about to be (un)locked.

Unfortunately, this dual-purpose of the field introduced a bug: when the
balloon is popped (e.g., when the machine is reset or the balloon driver
is explicitly removed), the balloon driver frees, unconditionally, the
page that is held in balloon.page.  As a result, if batching is
disabled, this leads to double freeing the last page that is sent to the
hypervisor.

The following error occurs during rmmod when kernel checkers are on, and
the balloon is not empty:

To solve the bug, we eliminate the dual purpose of balloon.page.
