This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled virtio_balloon: Give the balloon its own wakeup source to the 6.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: virtio_balloon-give-the-balloon-its-own-wakeup-sourc.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 30859bfc8a841eac49882a8fdec2c45d139f02c4 Author: David Stevens <stevensd@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Mar 21 10:24:44 2024 +0900 virtio_balloon: Give the balloon its own wakeup source [ Upstream commit 810d831bbbf3cbd86e5aa91c8485b4d35186144d ] Wakeup sources don't support nesting multiple events, so sharing a single object between multiple drivers can result in one driver overriding the wakeup event processing period specified by another driver. Have the virtio balloon driver use the wakeup source of the device it is bound to rather than the wakeup source of the parent device, to avoid conflicts with the transport layer. Note that although the virtio balloon's virtio_device itself isn't what actually wakes up the device, it is responsible for processing wakeup events. In the same way that EPOLLWAKEUP uses a dedicated wakeup_source to prevent suspend when userspace is processing wakeup events, a dedicated wakeup_source is necessary when processing wakeup events in a higher layer in the kernel.
