   3 *
   4 * Common interface definitions for making balloon pages movable by compaction.
   5 *
   6 * Despite being perfectly possible to perform ballooned pages migration, they
   7 * make a special corner case to compaction scans because balloon pages are not
   8 * enlisted at any LRU list like the other pages we do compact / migrate.
   9 *
  10 * As the page isolation scanning step a compaction thread does is a lockless
  11 * procedure (from a page standpoint), it might bring some racy situations while
  12 * performing balloon page compaction. In order to sort out these racy scenarios
  13 * and safely perform balloon's page compaction and migration we must, always,
  14 * ensure following these three simple rules:
  15 *
  16 *   i. when updating a balloon's page ->mapping element, strictly do it under
  17 *      the following lock order, independently of the far superior
  18 *      locking scheme (lru_lock, balloon_lock):
  19 *          +-page_lock(page);
  20 *            +--spin_lock_irq(&b_dev_info->pages_lock);
  21 *                  ... page->mapping updates here ...
  22 *
  23 *  ii. before isolating or dequeueing a balloon page from the balloon device
  24 *      pages list, the page reference counter must be raised by one and the
  25 *      extra refcount must be dropped when the page is enqueued back into
  26 *      the balloon device page list, thus a balloon page keeps its reference
  27 *      counter raised only while it is under our special handling;
  28 *
  29 * iii. after the lockless scan step have selected a potential balloon page for
  30 *      isolation, re-test the page->mapping flags and the page ref counter
  31 *      under the proper page lock, to ensure isolating a valid balloon page
  32 *      (not yet isolated, nor under release procedure)
  33 *
  34 * The functions provided by this interface are placed to help on coping with
  35 * the aforementioned balloon page corner case, as well as to ensure the simple
  36 * set of exposed rules are satisfied while we are dealing with balloon pages
  37 * compaction / migration.
