[PATCH v4 0/3] virtio-balloon: some improvements

From: Wei Wang
Date: Thu Aug 16 2018 - 04:19:22 EST


This series is split from the "Virtio-balloon: support free page
reporting" series to make some improvements.

ChangeLog:
v3->v4:
- use kzalloc to allocate the vb struct so that we don't need to zero
initialize each field one by one later;
- also remove vb->shrinker.batch = 0, which is not needed now.
v2->v3:
- shrink the balloon pages according to the amount requested by the
claimer, instead of using a user specified number;
v1->v2:
- register the shrinker when VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_DEFLATE_ON_OOM is
negotiated.

Wei Wang (3):
virtio-balloon: remove BUG() in init_vqs
virtio-balloon: kzalloc the vb struct
virtio_balloon: replace oom notifier with shrinker
