Subject: [PATCH v2 0/7] vmw_balloon: addressing bugs and issues

This patch-set addresses minor issues and bugs in the VMware balloon
driver. Patches 1-5 address bugs that were *not* reported by customers,
but we would like to get them to 4.18 if possible.

Patches 1-4 are cc'd to stable. Patch 5 might be too big to be
considered for stable.

We will send separately later a patch-set with new features to be set on
top of this set.

v1->v2:
	* Reordering patches to have bug fixes first (Greg)
	* Fixing SPDX tag
	* Cc'ing stable when appropriate

Nadav Amit (7):
  vmw_balloon: fix inflation of 64-bit GFNs
  vmw_balloon: do not use 2MB without batching
  vmw_balloon: VMCI_DOORBELL_SET does not check status
  vmw_balloon: fix VMCI use when balloon built into kernel
  vmw_balloon: remove inflation rate limiting
  vmw_balloon: update copyright message
  vmw_balloon: update maintainers list
