    mm: convert PG_balloon to PG_offline · ec61b9e9
    David Hildenbrand authored
    PG_balloon was introduced to implement page migration/compaction for pages
    inflated in virtio-balloon.  Nowadays, it is only a marker that a page is
    part of virtio-balloon and therefore logically offline.
    
    We also want to make use of this flag in other balloon drivers - for
    inflated pages or when onlining a section but keeping some pages offline
    (e.g.  used right now by XEN and Hyper-V via set_online_page_callback()).
    
    We are going to expose this flag to dump tools like makedumpfile.  But
    instead of exposing PG_balloon, let's generalize the concept of marking
    pages as logically offline, so it can be reused for other purposes later
    on.
    
    Rename PG_balloon to PG_offline.  This is an indicator that the page is
    logically offline, the content stale and that it should not be touched
    (e.g.  a hypervisor would have to allocate backing storage in order for
    the guest to dump an unused page).  We can then e.g.  exclude such pages
    from dumps.
    
    We replace and reuse KPF_BALLOON (23), as this shouldn't really harm (and
    for now the semantics stay the same).  In following patches, we will make
    use of this bit also in other balloon drivers.  While at it, document
    PGTABLE.
