[PATCH v3 1/3] virtio-balloon: tweak config_changed implementation

[PATCH v3 1/3] virtio-balloon: tweak config_changed implementation

[Wei Wang]

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.

The cmd_id_received is also renamed to cmd_id_received_cache, and
the value should be obtained via virtio_balloon_cmd_id_received.

[PATCH v3 2/3] virtio-balloon: improve update_balloon_size_func

[Wei Wang]

There is no need to update the balloon actual register when there is no
ballooning request. This patch avoids update_balloon_size when diff is 0.

We've changed to kzalloc the vb struct, so no need to 0-initialize
this field one more time.

Can you please cc stable? Right now 4.20 does not work under KVM.

You switches cpu_to_virtio32 to over to virtio32_to_cpu.
That will produce a sparse warning I think.
Pls always run the static checker when you submit patches.

Together with 
  virtio_pci: use queue idx instead of array idx to set up the vq
  virtio: don't allocate vqs when names[i] = NULL

Tested-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com>

as already said, would be good to add cc stable (and a Fixes: tag)

OK. I don't plan to send a new version of the above patches as no 
changes needed so far.

Michael, if the above two patches look good to you, please help add the 
related tested-by
and reviewed-by tags. Thanks.

Can we also make sure that 

virtio_pci: use queue idx instead of array idx to set up the vq
virtio: don't allocate vqs when names[i] = NULL

also land in stable?

You could also send the request to stable after it gets merged to Linus'

The stable review committee will decide whether to take it.

Those patches are not upstream yet, Correct?

Michael,

can you add the stable tag before submitting? If not, can you give me a heads up when doing the
pull request so that I can ping the stable folks.

Can you reply to patches that you feel are needed on stable with just

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

in the message body?

Then it's all automatically handled by ack attaching scripts.

Done. But this only works if those patches are not already part of a tree. I guess they have to go via

I don't think you did that.
Did it manually as the pull needed some manual handling
but I won't next time and you will have to send it to

This alone does not fix 4.20. You need the other ones as well.(The other patches
fix the memory corruption during boot, this patch fixes the deadlock when actually
changing the balloon size)

It sounds reasonable but it does have a side effect of
not writing into actual anymore.

I am not sure actual never can get out of sync as a result.

So better deferred, pls send this in the next merge window.
