Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y 2/3] mm/balloon_compaction: convert balloon_page_delete() to balloon_page_finalize()
Date: Mon,  5 Jan 2026 12:42:04 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260105174205.2697666-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260105174205.2697666-1-sashal@kernel.org>

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.
