Subject[PATCH 4.4 03/43] vmw_balloon: fix inflation with batching
Date
4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Nadav Amit <namit@vmware.com>

commit 90d72ce079791399ac255c75728f3c9e747b093d upstream.

Embarrassingly, the recent fix introduced worse problem than it solved,
causing the balloon not to inflate. The VM informed the hypervisor that
the pages for lock/unlock are sitting in the wrong address, as it used
the page that is used the uninitialized page variable.
