Drivers: hv: balloon: keep track of where ha_region starts
commit 7cf3b79e upstream. Windows 2012 (non-R2) does not specify hot add region in hot add requests and the logic in hot_add_req() is trying to find a 128Mb-aligned region covering the request. It may also happen that host's requests are not 128Mb aligned and the created ha_region will start before the first specified PFN. We can't online these non-present pages but we don't remember the real start of the region. This is a regression introduced by the commit 5abbbb75 ("Drivers: hv: hv_balloon: don't lose memory when onlining order is not natural"). While the idea of keeping the 'moving window' was wrong (as there is no guarantee that hot add requests come ordered) we should still keep track of covered_start_pfn. This is not a revert, the logic is different. Signed-off-by: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: K. Y.
