From: Wei Wang wei.w.wang@intel.com Date: Tue, 19 Nov 2019 05:02:33 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] virtio_balloon: fix shrinker count
Instead of multiplying by page order, virtio balloon divided by page order. The result is that it can return 0 if there are a bit less than MAX_ORDER - 1 pages in use, and then shrinker scan won't be called.

I think that the fixes tag should be pointing to 86a559787e6f ("virtio-balloon: VIRTIO_BALLOON_F_FREE_PAGE_HINT"), and this commit isn't needed on 4.19.

I believe you are right but don't see a way to fix that as the patch is upstream.
