The patch titled
Subject: hv_balloon: don't check for memhp_auto_online manually
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
hv_balloon-dont-check-for-memhp_auto_online-manually.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: David Hildenbrand <david@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: hv_balloon: don't check for memhp_auto_online manually
We get the MEM_ONLINE notifier call if memory is added right from the
kernel via add_memory() or later from user space.
Let's get rid of the "ha_waiting" flag - the wait event has an inbuilt
mechanism (->done) for that. Initialize the wait event only once and
reinitialize before adding memory. Unconditionally call complete() and
wait_for_completion_timeout().
If there are no waiters, complete() will only increment ->done - which
will be reset by reinit_completion(). If complete() has already been
called, wait_for_completion_timeout() will not wait.
There is still the chance for a small race between concurrent
reinit_completion() and complete(). If complete() wins, we would not wait
- which is tolerable (and the race exists in current code as well).
Note: We only wait for "some" memory to get onlined, which seems to be
good enough for now.
