Setting event_triggered from the interrupt handler
is fundamentally racy. There are races of 2 types:
1. vq processing can read false value while interrupt
   triggered and set it to true.
   result will be a bit of extra work when disabling cbs, no big deal.

1. vq processing can set false value then interrupt
   immediately sets true value
   since interrupt then triggers a callback which will
   process buffers, this is also not an issue.

However, looks like KCSAN can not figure all this out, and warns about
the race between the write and the read.  Tag the access data_racy for
now.  We should probably look at ways to make this more
straight-forwardly correct.

Expose memory scan/reclaim information to the host side via virtio
balloon device.

Now we have a metric to analyze the memory performance:

y: counter increases
n: counter does not changes
h: the rate of counter change is high
l: the rate of counter change is low

OOM: VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_OOM_KILL
STALL: VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_ALLOC_STALL
ASCAN: VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_SCAN_ASYNC
DSCAN: VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_SCAN_DIRECT
ARCLM: VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_RECLAIM_ASYNC
DRCLM: VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_RECLAIM_DIRECT

- OOM[y], STALL[*], ASCAN[*], DSCAN[*], ARCLM[*], DRCLM[*]:
  the guest runs under really critial memory pressure

- OOM[n], STALL[h], ASCAN[*], DSCAN[l], ARCLM[*], DRCLM[l]:
  the memory allocation stalls due to cgroup, not the global memory
  pressure.

- OOM[n], STALL[h], ASCAN[*], DSCAN[h], ARCLM[*], DRCLM[h]:
  the memory allocation stalls due to global memory pressure. The
  performance gets hurt a lot. A high ratio between DRCLM/DSCAN shows
  quite effective memory reclaiming.

- OOM[n], STALL[h], ASCAN[*], DSCAN[h], ARCLM[*], DRCLM[l]:
  the memory allocation stalls due to global memory pressure.
  the ratio between DRCLM/DSCAN gets low, the guest OS is thrashing
  heavily, the serious case leads poor performance and difficult
  trouble shooting. Ex, sshd may block on memory allocation when
  accepting new connections, a user can't login a VM by ssh command.

- OOM[n], STALL[n], ASCAN[h], DSCAN[n], ARCLM[l], DRCLM[n]:
  the low ratio between ARCLM/ASCAN shows that the guest tries to
  reclaim more memory, but it can't. Once more memory is required in
  future, it will struggle to reclaim memory.

When the guest OS runs under critical memory pressure, the guest
starts to kill processes. A guest monitor agent may scan 'oom_kill'
from /proc/vmstat, and reports the OOM KILL event. However, the agent
may be killed and we will loss this critical event(and the later
events).

For now we can also grep for magic words in guest kernel log from host
side. Rather than this unstable way, virtio balloon reports OOM-KILL
invocations instead.

<title>virtio: allow driver to disable the configure change notification</title>

Sometime, it would be useful to disable the configure change
notification from the driver. So this patch allows this by introducing
a variable config_change_driver_disabled and only allow the configure
change notification callback to be triggered when it is allowed by
both the virtio core and the driver. It is set to false by default to
hold the current semantic so we don't need to change any drivers.

The first user for this would be virtio-net.

Following patch will allow the config interrupt to be disabled by a
specific driver via another boolean. So this patch renames
virtio_config_enabled and relevant helpers to
virtio_config_core_enabled.

Pull virtio fixes from Michael Tsirkin:
 "The biggest thing here is the adminq change - but it looks like the
  only way to avoid headq blocking causing indefinite stalls.

  This fixes three issues:

   - Prevent admin commands on one VF blocking another.

     This prevents a bad VF from blocking a good one, as well as fixing
     a scalability issue with large # of VFs

Pull virtio fixes from Michael Tsirkin:
 "The biggest thing here is the adminq change - but it looks like the
  only way to avoid headq blocking causing indefinite stalls.

  This fixes three issues:

   - Prevent admin commands on one VF blocking another.

     This prevents a bad VF from blocking a good one, as well as fixing
     a scalability issue with large # of VFs

   - Correctly return error on command failure on octeon. We used to
     treat failed commands as a success.

   - Fix modpost warning when building virtio_dma_buf. Harmless, but the

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of driver core changes for 6.11-rc1.

  Lots of stuff in here, with not a huge diffstat, but apis are evolving
  which required lots of files to be touched. Highlights of the changes
  in here are:

   - platform remove callback api final fixups (Uwe took many releases
     to get here, finally!)

   - Rust bindings for basic firmware apis and initial driver-core
     interactions.

     It's not all that useful for a "write a whole driver in rust" type
     of thing, but the firmware bindings do help out the phy rust
     drivers, and the driver core bindings give a solid base on which
     others can start their work.

     There is still a long way to go here before we have a multitude of
     rust drivers being added, but it's a great first step.

   - driver core const api changes.

     This reached across all bus types, and there are some fix-ups for
     some not-common bus types that linux-next and 0-day testing shook
     out.

     This work is being done to help make the rust bindings more safe,
     as well as the C code, moving toward the end-goal of allowing us to
     put driver structures into read-only memory. We aren't there yet,
     but are getting closer.

   - minor devres cleanups and fixes found by code inspection

   - arch_topology minor changes

   - other minor driver core cleanups

  All of these have been in linux-next for a very long time with no
  reported problems"
