Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Configurable order free page reporting in hyper-v

Configurable order free page reporting is enabled in page_reporting
driver in mm tree. However, changes need to be made in drivers like
hyper-v's hv_balloon to make it aware of the page order.
These patches add support for the same.
In the page_reporting driver we export the page_reporting_order module
parameter. Following precedence is added in setting the reporting order
        a. Value of page_reporting_order parameter
        b. Value of order passed while registering with the driver
        c. default value (pageblock_order)
Besides this, in the page_reporting module a check is added to ensure
that whenever the page_reporting_order value is changed, it is within
the prescribed limits.

The hv_balloon side changes include consuming the exported
page_reporting_order. Making changes in reporting these variable order
free pages as cold discard hints to hyper-v and dropping and refining
checks that restrict the order to a minimum of 9(default).

Shradha Gupta (2):
  mm/page_reporting: Add checks for page_reporting_order param value
  hv_balloon: Add support for configurable order free page reporting
