virtio spec requires drivers to set DRIVER_OK before using VQs.
This is set automatically after resume returns, virtio balloon
violated this rule by adding bufs, which causes the VQ to be used
directly within restore.

To fix, call virtio_device_ready before using VQ.

<content type='text'>
Defer config changed notifications that arrive during
probe/scan/freeze/restore.

This will allow drivers to set DRIVER_OK earlier, without worrying about
racing with config change interrupts.

This change will also benefit old hypervisors (before 2009)
that send interrupts without checking DRIVER_OK: previously,
the callback could race with driver-specific initialization.

This will also help simplify drivers.

This is in preparation to extending config changed event handling
in core.
Wrapping these in an API also seems to make for a cleaner code.

Replace duplicated code in all transports with a single wrapper in
virtio.c.

The only functional change is in virtio_mmio.c: if a buggy device sends
us an interrupt before driver is set, we previously returned IRQ_NONE,
now we return IRQ_HANDLED.

As this must not happen in practice, this does not look like a big deal.

<title>virtio_pci: fix virtio spec compliance on restore</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6fbc198cf623944ab60a1db6d306a4d55cdd820d</id>
<content type='text'>
On restore, virtio pci does the following:
+ set features
+ init vqs etc - device can be used at this point!
+ set ACKNOWLEDGE,DRIVER and DRIVER_OK status bits

This is in violation of the virtio spec, which
requires the following order:
- ACKNOWLEDGE
- DRIVER
- init vqs
- DRIVER_OK

This behaviour will break with hypervisors that assume spec compliant
behaviour.  It seems like a good idea to have this patch applied to
stable branches to reduce the support butden for the hypervisors.

Always mark pages with PageBalloon even if balloon compaction is disabled
and expose this mark in /proc/kpageflags as KPF_BALLOON.

Also this patch adds three counters into /proc/vmstat: "balloon_inflate",
"balloon_deflate" and "balloon_migrate".  They accumulate balloon
activity.  Current size of balloon is (balloon_inflate - balloon_deflate)
pages.

All generic balloon code now gathered under option CONFIG_MEMORY_BALLOON.
It should be selected by ballooning driver which wants use this feature.
Currently virtio-balloon is the only user.

Now ballooned pages are detected using PageBalloon().  Fake mapping is no
longer required.  This patch links ballooned pages to balloon device using
field page-&gt;private instead of page-&gt;mapping.  Also this patch embeds
balloon_dev_info directly into struct virtio_balloon.

Sasha Levin reported KASAN splash inside isolate_migratepages_range().
Problem is in the function __is_movable_balloon_page() which tests
AS_BALLOON_MAP in page-&gt;mapping-&gt;flags.  This function has no protection
against anonymous pages.  As result it tried to check address space flags
inside struct anon_vma.

Further investigation shows more problems in current implementation:

* Special branch in __unmap_and_move() never works:
  balloon_page_movable() checks page flags and page_count.  In
  __unmap_and_move() page is locked, reference counter is elevated, thus
  balloon_page_movable() always fails.  As a result execution goes to the
  normal migration path.  virtballoon_migratepage() returns
  MIGRATEPAGE_BALLOON_SUCCESS instead of MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS,
  move_to_new_page() thinks this is an error code and assigns
  newpage-&gt;mapping to NULL.  Newly migrated page lose connectivity with
  balloon an all ability for further migration.

* lru_lock erroneously required in isolate_migratepages_range() for
  isolation ballooned page.  This function releases lru_lock periodically,
  this makes migration mostly impossible for some pages.

* balloon_page_dequeue have a tight race with balloon_page_isolate:
  balloon_page_isolate could be executed in parallel with dequeue between
  picking page from list and locking page_lock.  Race is rare because they
  use trylock_page() for locking.

This patch fixes all of them.

Instead of fake mapping with special flag this patch uses special state of
page-&gt;_mapcount: PAGE_BALLOON_MAPCOUNT_VALUE = -256.  Buddy allocator uses
PAGE_BUDDY_MAPCOUNT_VALUE = -128 for similar purpose.  Storing mark
directly in struct page makes everything safer and easier.

PagePrivate is used to mark pages present in page list (i.e.  not
isolated, like PageLRU for normal pages).  It replaces special rules for
reference counter and makes balloon migration similar to migration of
normal pages.  This flag is protected by page_lock together with link to
the balloon device.

<title>virtio_ring: unify direct/indirect code paths.</title>

virtqueue_add() populates the virtqueue descriptor table from the sgs
given.  If it uses an indirect descriptor table, then it puts a single
descriptor in the descriptor table pointing to the kmalloc'ed indirect
table where the sg is populated.

Previously vring_add_indirect() did the allocation and the simple
linear layout.  We replace that with alloc_indirect() which allocates
the indirect table then chains it like the normal descriptor table so
we can reuse the core logic.

This slows down pktgen by less than 1/2 a percent (which uses direct
descriptors), as well as vring_bench, but it's far neater.

vring_bench before:
	1061485790-1104800648(1.08254e+09+/-6.6e+06)ns
vring_bench after:
	1125610268-1183528965(1.14172e+09+/-8e+06)ns

pktgen before:
   787781-796334(793165+/-2.4e+03)pps 365-369(367.5+/-1.2)Mb/sec (365530384-369498976(3.68028e+08+/-1.1e+06)bps) errors: 0

pktgen after:
   779988-790404(786391+/-2.5e+03)pps 361-366(364.35+/-1.3)Mb/sec (361914432-366747456(3.64885e+08+/-1.2e+06)bps) errors: 0

Now, if we make force indirect descriptors by turning off any_header_sg
in virtio_net.c:

pktgen before:
  713773-721062(718374+/-2.1e+03)pps 331-334(332.95+/-0.92)Mb/sec (331190672-334572768(3.33325e+08+/-9.6e+05)bps) errors: 0
