Subject: [PATCH v4 0/4] vmw_balloon: Compaction and shrinker support
Date: Thu, 25 Apr 2019 04:54:41 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190425115445.20815-1-namit@vmware.com> (raw)

VMware balloon enhancements: adding support for memory compaction,
memory shrinker (to prevent OOM) and splitting of refused pages to
prevent recurring inflations.

Patches 1-2: Support for compaction
Patch 3: Support for memory shrinker - disabled by default
Patch 4: Split refused pages to improve performance

v3->v4:
* "get around to" comment [Michael]
* Put list_add under page lock [Michael]

v2->v3:
* Fixing wrong argument type (int->size_t) [Michael]
* Fixing a comment (it) [Michael]
* Reinstating the BUG_ON() when page is locked [Michael] 

v1->v2:
* Return number of pages in list enqueue/dequeue interfaces [Michael]
* Removed first two patches which were already merged
