The virtio balloon driver contained a not-so-obvious invariant that update_balloon_stats has to update exactly VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_NR counters in order to send valid stats to the host. This commit fixes it by having update_balloon_stats return the actual number of counters, and its callers use it when pushing buffers to the stats virtqueue. Note that it is still out of spec to change the number of counters at run-time. "Driver MUST supply the same subset of statistics in all buffers submitted to the statsq."

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
