3  * Common interface for implementing a memory balloon, including support
4  * for migration of pages inflated in a memory balloon.
5  *
6  * Balloon page migration makes use of the general "movable_ops page migration"
7  * feature.
8  *
9  * page->private is used to reference the responsible balloon device.
10  * That these pages have movable_ops, and which movable_ops apply,
11  * is derived from the page type (PageOffline()) combined with the
12  * PG_movable_ops flag (PageMovableOps()).
13  *
14  * Once the page type and the PG_movable_ops are set, migration code
15  * can initiate page isolation by invoking the
16  * movable_operations()->isolate_page() callback
17  *
18  * As long as page->private is set, the page is either on the balloon list
19  * or isolated for migration. If page->private is not set, the page is
20  * either still getting inflated, or was deflated to be freed by the balloon
21  * driver soon. Isolation is impossible in both cases.
22  *
23  * As the page isolation scanning step a compaction thread does is a lockless
24  * procedure (from a page standpoint), it might bring some racy situations while
25  * performing balloon page migration. In order to sort out these racy scenarios
26  * and safely perform balloon's page migration we must, always, ensure following
27  * these simple rules:
28  *
29  *   i. Inflation/deflation must set/clear page->private under the
30  *      balloon_pages_lock
31  *
32  *  ii. isolation or dequeueing procedure must remove the page from balloon
33  *      device page list under balloon_pages_lock
34  *
