Export the number of successful and failed hugetlb page
allocations via the virtio balloon driver. These 2 counts
come directly from the vm_events HTLB_BUDDY_PGALLOC and
HTLB_BUDDY_PGALLOC_FAIL.

Add a new field VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_CACHES to virtio_balloon memory
statistics protocol. The value represents all disk/file caches.

In this case it corresponds to the sum of values
Buffers+Cached+SwapCached from /proc/meminfo.

commit c7cdff0e8647 ("virtio_balloon: fix deadlock on OOM")
changed code to increment vb-&gt;num_pfns before call to
set_page_pfns(), which used to happen only after.

This patch fixes boot hang for me on ppc64le KVM guests.

fill_balloon doing memory allocations under balloon_lock
can cause a deadlock when leak_balloon is called from
virtballoon_oom_notify and tries to take same lock.

To fix, split page allocation and enqueue and do allocations outside the lock.

Here's a detailed analysis of the deadlock by Tetsuo Handa:

In leak_balloon(), mutex_lock(&amp;vb-&gt;balloon_lock) is called in order to
serialize against fill_balloon(). But in fill_balloon(),
alloc_page(GFP_HIGHUSER[_MOVABLE] | __GFP_NOMEMALLOC | __GFP_NORETRY) is
called with vb-&gt;balloon_lock mutex held. Since GFP_HIGHUSER[_MOVABLE]
implies __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM | __GFP_IO | __GFP_FS, despite __GFP_NORETRY
is specified, this allocation attempt might indirectly depend on somebody
else's __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM memory allocation. And such indirect
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM memory allocation might call leak_balloon() via
virtballoon_oom_notify() via blocking_notifier_call_chain() callback via
out_of_memory() when it reached __alloc_pages_may_oom() and held oom_lock
mutex. Since vb-&gt;balloon_lock mutex is already held by fill_balloon(), it
will cause OOM lockup.

  Thread1                                       Thread2

                                                      __alloc_pages_may_oom()

This seems absolutely right, so we should add an extra check to
prevent copying uninitialized stack data into the statistics.
&gt;From all I can tell, this has been broken since the statistics code
was originally added in 2.6.34.

<title>virtio-balloon: use actual number of stats for stats queue buffers</title>

The virtio balloon driver contained a not-so-obvious invariant that
update_balloon_stats has to update exactly VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_NR counters
in order to send valid stats to the host. This commit fixes it by having
update_balloon_stats return the actual number of counters, and its
callers use it when pushing buffers to the stats virtqueue.

Note that it is still out of spec to change the number of counters
at run-time. "Driver MUST supply the same subset of statistics in all
buffers submitted to the statsq."
