In systems configured with insufficient spare memory for those pages, it can cause a memory pressure situation. However, finding the optimal amount of the spare memory is challenging for large systems having dynamic resource utilization patterns. Also, such a static configuration might lack flexibility. To mitigate such problems, this patchset adds a memory reclaim callback to 'xenbus_driver' (patch 1) and then introduce a lock for race condition avoidance (patch 2). After that, patch 3 applies the callback mechanism to mitigate the problem in 'xen-blkback'. The fourth and fifth patches are trivial cleanups; those fix nits we found during the development of this patchset. Note that patch 1, 4, and 5 are not changed since v9.
