Subject: [PATCH 0/3] vmw_balloon: misc fixes and enhancements

From: Nadav Amit <namit@...are.com>

Various relatively minor enhancements. Patches 1-2 address borderline
bugs. There have been no actual bug reports, and the first bug is
theoretical and the second one is a minor performance issue. We
therefore do not ask to backport them, but keep them first since we (or
distributions) might want to backport them later.

Patch 3 is doing some cleanup due to recent changes, with no expected
functional change.

Nadav Amit (3):
  vmw_balloon: access reset_required through READ/WRITE_ONCE
  vmw_balloon: exit if initalization fails
  vmw_balloon: open-code vmballoon_compaction_init()
