This is okay

I mean we have created callbacks array for two entries 0,1?

callbacks = kmalloc_array(nvqs, sizeof(*callbacks), GFP_KERNEL);

But we are trying to access location '2' which is third:

i = 2;
+ if (virtio_has_feature(vb->vdev, VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_STATS_VQ)) {
+ callbacks[i] = stats_request; <---- callbacks[2]
+ names[i] = "stats"; <----- names[2]
+ i++;
+ }

I am missing anything obvious here?
