Hmm, As I replied mst's mail, I really cannot understand what you
gouys are pointing out.
If we use lock_page in balloon_page_dequeue, I agree it's deadlock
but we used trylock_page so it's not a deadlock.
About the page refcount, we don't need take a page reference because
if one of page in the list was isolated for migration, the page
shouldn't stay in b_dev_info->pages list so balloon_page_dequeue
cannot touch the page.
Could you elaborate it more detail if I have missed something?
It's a stable patch so I want to be careful.
Thanks.
balloon_page_isolate
{
trylock_page(page)
spin_lock_irqsave(&b_dev_info->pages_lock)
list_del(&page->lru);
}
balloon_page_dequeue
{
spin_lock_irqsave(&b_dev_info->pages_lock)
list_for_each_entry_safe(page, tmp, &b_dev_info->pages, lru) {
trylock_page(page)
}
}
