The OOM notifier is getting deprecated to use for the reasons mentioned here by Michal Hocko: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/7/12/314 This patch replaces the virtio-balloon oom notifier with a shrinker to release balloon pages on memory pressure. In addition, the bug in the replaced virtballoon_oom_notify that only VIRTIO_BALLOON_ARRAY_PFNS_MAX (i.e 256) balloon pages can be freed though the user has specified more than that number is fixed in the shrinker_scan function.
