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.

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' tree.
The stable review committee will decide whether to take it.

Please see Option 2:
