[PATCH V2 2/2] Drivers: hv: balloon: Do not post pressure status if interrupted

From: K. Y. Srinivasan
Date: Mon Jul 15 2013 - 01:00:49 EST


When we are posting pressure status, we may get interrupted and handle
the un-balloon operation. In this case just don't post the status as we
know the pressure status is stale.
