[PATCH 1/2] virtio_balloon: factor out virtballoon_quiesce()
From: Denis V. Lunev
Date: Mon Jun 22 2026 - 09:53:32 EST
virtballoon_remove() stops all of the balloon's asynchronous work (the
free page reporting worker, the inflate/deflate and stats workers, the
OOM notifier and the free page shrinker) before tearing the device
down. A following change needs the same teardown from a .shutdown
handler, so move it into a virtballoon_quiesce() helper.
No functional change.
