      virtio-balloon: fix add/get API use · 9c378abc
      Michael S. Tsirkin authored
      Since ee7cd898 'virtio: expose added
      descriptors immediately.', in virtio balloon virtqueue_get_buf might
      now run concurrently with virtqueue_kick.  I audited both and this
      seems safe in practice but this is not guaranteed by the API.
      Additionally, a spurious interrupt might in theory make
      virtqueue_get_buf run in parallel with virtqueue_add_buf, which is
      racy.
      
      While we might try to protect against spurious callbacks it's
      easier to fix the driver: balloon seems to be the only one
      (mis)using the API like this, so let's just fix balloon.
