We should disable free page reporting if page poisoning is enabled but we
cannot report it via the balloon interface. This way we can avoid the
possibility of corrupting guest memory. Normally the page poisoning feature
should always be present when free page reporting is enabled on the
hypervisor, however this allows us to correctly handle a case of the
virtio-balloon device being possibly misconfigured.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
