This patch series intends to summarize the recent contributions made by

discussing the related deadlock issues on the mailinglist. Please check
each patch for details.
>From a high-level point of view, this patch series achieves:
1) eliminate the deadlock issue fundamentally caused by the inability
to run leak_balloon and fill_balloon concurrently;
We need to think about this carefully. Is it an issue that
leak can now bypass fill? It seems that we can now
try to leak a page before fill was seen by host,
but I did not look into it deeply.
I really like my patch for this better at least for
current kernel. I agree we need to work more on 2+3.
Since we have many customers interested in the "Virtio-balloon
Enhancement" series,
please review the v17 patches first (it has a dependency on your patch
for that deadlock fix,
so I included it there too), and we can get back to 2+3 here after that
series is done. Thanks.
Best,
Wei
