Michael S. Tsirkin c7cdff0e86 virtio_balloon: fix deadlock on OOM
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(&vb->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->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->balloon_lock mutex is already held by fill_balloon(), it
will cause OOM lockup.

    fill_balloon()
      takes a balloon_lock
      balloon_page_enqueue()
        alloc_page(GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE)
          direct reclaim (__GFP_FS context)       takes a fs lock
            waits for that fs lock                  alloc_page(GFP_NOFS)
                                                      __alloc_pages_may_oom()
                                                        takes the oom_lock
                                                        out_of_memory()
                                                          blocking_notifier_call_chain()

                                                              tries to take that balloon_lock and deadlocks

* include/linux/balloon_compaction.h
*
* Common interface definitions for making balloon pages movable by compaction.
*
* Despite being perfectly possible to perform ballooned pages migration, they
* make a special corner case to compaction scans because balloon pages are not
* enlisted at any LRU list like the other pages we do compact / migrate.
*
* As the page isolation scanning step a compaction thread does is a lockless
* procedure (from a page standpoint), it might bring some racy situations while
* performing balloon page compaction. In order to sort out these racy scenarios
* and safely perform balloon's page compaction and migration we must, always,
* ensure following these three simple rules:
*
* i. when updating a balloon's page ->mapping element, strictly do it under
* the following lock order, independently of the far superior
* locking scheme (lru_lock, balloon_lock):
* +-page_lock(page);
* +--spin_lock_irq(&b_dev_info->pages_lock);
* ... page->mapping updates here ...
*
* ii. before isolating or dequeueing a balloon page from the balloon device
* pages list, the page reference counter must be raised by one and the
* extra refcount must be dropped when the page is enqueued back into
* the balloon device page list, thus a balloon page keeps its reference
* counter raised only while it is under our special handling;
*
* iii. after the lockless scan step have selected a potential balloon page for
* isolation, re-test the PageBalloon mark and the PagePrivate flag
* under the proper page lock, to ensure isolating a valid balloon page
* (not yet isolated, nor under release procedure)
*
* iv. isolation or dequeueing procedure must clear PagePrivate flag under
* page lock together with removing page from balloon device page list.
*
* The functions provided by this interface are placed to help on coping with
* the aforementioned balloon page corner case, as well as to ensure the simple
* set of exposed rules are satisfied while we are dealing with balloon pages
* compaction / migration.
