Subject: [PATCH] virtio_balloon: set DRIVER_OK before using device
Date: Wed, 4 Mar 2015 14:14:21 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1425474779-29412-1-git-send-email-mst@redhat.com> (raw)

virtio spec requires that all drivers set DRIVER_OK
before using devices. While balloon isn't yet
included in the virtio 1 spec, previous spec versions
also required this.

virtio balloon might violate this rule: probe calls
kthread_run before setting DRIVER_OK, which might run
immediately and cause balloon to inflate/deflate.

To fix, call virtio_device_ready before running the kthread.
