    vmw_balloon: Fix offline page marking with compaction · 468e0ffa
    Nadav Amit authored
    The compaction code already marks pages as offline when it enqueues
    pages in the ballooned page list, and removes the mapping when the pages
    are removed from the list. VMware balloon also updates the flags,
    instead of letting the balloon-compaction logic handle it, which causes
    the assertion VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageOffline(page)) to fire, when
    __ClearPageOffline is called the second time. This causes the following
    crash.

    Fix it by updating the PageOffline indication only when a 2MB page is
    enqueued and dequeued. The 4KB pages will be handled correctly by the
    balloon compaction logic.
