Juergen Gross 29917bbb07 xen/balloon: use a kernel thread instead a workqueue
[ Upstream commit 8480ed9c2bbd56fc86524998e5f2e3e22f5038f6 ]

Today the Xen ballooning is done via delayed work in a workqueue. This
might result in workqueue hangups being reported in case of large
amounts of memory are being ballooned in one go (here 16GB):

BUG: workqueue lockup - pool cpus=6 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 stuck for 64s!
Showing busy workqueues and worker pools:
workqueue events: flags=0x0
  pwq 12: cpus=6 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=2/256 refcnt=3
    in-flight: 229:balloon_process
    pending: cache_reap
workqueue events_freezable_power_: flags=0x84
  pwq 12: cpus=6 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=1/256 refcnt=2
    pending: disk_events_workfn
workqueue mm_percpu_wq: flags=0x8
  pwq 12: cpus=6 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 active=1/256 refcnt=2
    pending: vmstat_update
pool 12: cpus=6 node=0 flags=0x0 nice=0 hung=64s workers=3 idle: 2222 43

This can easily be avoided by using a dedicated kernel thread for doing
the ballooning work.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
