The OOM notifier is getting deprecated to use for the reasons:
- As a callout from the oom context, it is too subtle and easy to
generate bugs and corner cases which are hard to track;
- It is called too late (after the reclaiming has been performed).
Drivers with large amuont of reclaimable me
It's a bit overkill to use BUG when failing to add an entry to the
stats_vq in init_vqs. So remove it and just return the error to the
caller to bail out nicely.

This series is split from the "Virtio-balloon: support free page
reporting" series to make some improvements.
ChangeLog:
v2->v3:
- shrink the balloon pages according to the amount requested by the
claimer, instead of using a user specified number;
v1->v2:
- register the shrinker when VIRTIO_BALL

IBMs power plaforms are always cache coherent. There are some powerpc
platforms have not cache coherent DMA, but I guess this

We use to have message like:
struct vhost_msg {
int type;
union {
struct vhost_iotlb_msg iotlb;
__u8 padding[64];
};
};
Unfortunately, there will be a hole of 32bit in 64bit machine because
of the alignment. This leads a different formats be
22 matches
