Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 1/2] Drivers: hv: balloon: Support status report for
 larger page sizes

Hi,

I think we also want this patch in the 5.15 stable. Without this patch,
hv_balloon() will report incorrect memory usage to hypervisor when
running on ARM64 with PAGE_SIZE > 4k. Only 5.15 needs this because ARM64
support of HyperV guests arrived in 5.15.

Upstream id b3d6dd09ff00fdcf4f7c0cb54700ffd5dd343502

Cc: <stable@...r.kernel.org> # 5.15.x

Thanks!

Regards,
Boqun
