balloon_compaction.h
/*
* include/linux/balloon_compaction.h
*
* Common interface definitions for making balloon pages movable by compaction.
*
* Despite being perfectly possible to perform ballooned pages migration, they
* make a special corner case to compaction scans because balloon pages are not
* enlisted at any LRU list like the other pages we do compact / migrate.
*
* As the page isolation scanning step a compaction thread does is a lockless
* procedure (from a page standpoint), it might bring some racy situations while
* performing balloon page compaction. In order to sort out these racy scenarios
* and safely perform balloon's page compaction and migration we must, always,
* ensure following these three simple rules:
*
* i. when updating a balloon's page ->mapping element, strictly do it under
* the following lock order, independently of the far superior
* locking scheme (lru_lock, balloon_lock):
* +-page_lock(page);
* +--spin_lock_irq(&b_dev_info->pages_lock);
* ... page->mapping updates here ...
*
* ii. before isolating or dequeueing a balloon page from the balloon device
* pages list, the page reference counter must be raised by one and the
* extra refcount must be dropped when the page is enqueued back into
* the balloon device page list, thus a balloon page keeps its reference
* counter raised only while it is under our special handling;
*
* iii. after the lockless scan step have selected a potential balloon page for
* isolation, re-test the page->mapping flags and the page ref counter
* under the proper page lock, to ensure isolating a valid balloon page
* (not yet isolated, nor under release procedure)
*
* The functions provided by this interface are placed to help on coping with
* the aforementioned balloon page corner case, as well as to ensure the simple
* set of exposed rules are satisfied while we are dealing with balloon pages
* compaction / migration.
