This is a complete mess. Your second patch (which is actually the first one) called "fix for mm-introduce-common-page-state-for-ballooned-memory-fix-v2" is indeed a fix for mm-introduce-common-page-state-for-ballooned-memory-fix-v2.patch and has a changelog. I eventually worked out that your first patch (whcih is actually the second one) called "fix for mm-balloon_compaction-use-common-page-ballooning-v2" assumes that mm-balloon_compaction-general-cleanup.patch has been applied. Does it actually fix mm-balloon_compaction-use-common-page-ballooning-v2.patch? I can't tell, because the "general cleanup" is in the way. So I'm going to send "fix for mm-balloon_compaction-use-common-page-ballooning-v2" to Linus separately, but it has no changelog at all. Please always write changelogs. Please never send more than one patch in a single email. Please be *consistent* in filenames, patch titles, email subjects, etc. Please send me a changelog for the below patch.
