      virtio: fix suspend when using virtio_balloon · 84a139a9
      Marcelo Tosatti authored 
      Break out of wait_event_interruptible() if freezing has been requested,
in the vballoon thread. Without this change vballoon refuses to stop and
the system can't suspend.

      lguest: fix guest crash on non-linear addresses in gdt pvops · a489f0b5
      Rusty Russell authored 
      Fixes guest crash 'lguest: bad read address 0x4800000 len 256'

The new per-cpu allocator ends up handing a non-linear address to
write_gdt_entry.  We do __pa() on it, and hand it to the host, which
kills us.

I've long wanted to make the hypercall "LOAD_GDT_ENTRY" to match the IDT
code, but had no pressing reason until now.

      lguest: fix crash on vmlinux images · 88df781a
      Matias Zabaljauregui authored 
      Typical message: 'lguest: unhandled trap 6 at 0x418726 (0x0)'

vmlinux guests were broken by 4cd8b5e2
'lguest: use KVM hypercalls', which rewrites guest text from kvm hypercalls
to trap 31.

The Launcher mmaps the kernel image.  The Guest executes and
immediately faults in the first text page (read-only).  Then it hits a
hypercall, and we rewrite that hypercall, causing a copy-on-write.
But the Guest pagetables still refer to the old page: we fault again,
but as Host we see the hypercall already rewritten, and pass the fault
back to the Guest.  The Guest hasn't set up an IDT yet, so we kill it.

This doesn't happen with bzImages: they unpack themselves and so the
text pages are already read-write.

      Remove 'recurse into child resources' logic from 'reserve_region_with_split()' · ff54250a
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      This function is not actually used right now, since the original use
case for it was done with insert_resource_expand_to_fit() instead.

However, we now have another usage case that wants to basically do a
"reserve IO resource, splitting around existing resources", however that
one doesn't actually want the "recurse into the conflicting resource"
logic at all.

And since recursing into the conflicting resource was the most complex
part, and isn't wanted, just remove it.  Maybe we'll some day want both
versions, but we can just resurrect the logic then.
