[PATCH 0/6] vmw_balloon: 64-bit limit support, compaction, shrinker

[PATCH 0/6] vmw_balloon: 64-bit limit support, compaction, shrinker

[Nadav Amit]

Various enhancements for VMware balloon, some of which are remainder
from a previous patch-set.

Patch 1: Aumps the version number, following recent changes
Patch 2: Adds support for 64-bit memory limit
Patches 3-4: Support for compaction
Patch 5: Support for memory shrinker - disabled by default
Patch 6: Split refused pages to improve performance

Since the 3rd patch requires Michael Tsirkin ack, which has not arrived
in the last couple of times the patch was sent, please consider applying
patches 1-2 for 5.1.

I don't seem to have got anything except patch 0 either directly
or through virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org
Could you bounce the relevant patches there?

Thanks!

Sorry for that. I will resend.

[PATCH 0/6] vmw_balloon: 64-bit limit support, compaction, shrinker

[Nadav Amit]

Various enhancements for VMware balloon, some of which are remainder
from a previous patch-set.

Patch 1: Drop the version number
Patch 2: Adds support for 64-bit memory limit
Patches 3-4: Support for compaction
Patch 5: Support for memory shrinker - disabled by default
Patch 6: Split refused pages to improve performance

This is sort of a resend, since patches 2-6 have not been sent (the mail
server rejected since Xavier, whose email address was deactivated, was
mistakenly cc'd). Patch 1 was changed according to Greg's feedback.
