Merge tag 'for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mst/vhost
Pull virtio/vhost fixes from Michael Tsirkin: - Fixes in the iommu and balloon devices. - Disable the meta-data optimization for now - I hope we can get it fixed shortly, but there's no point in making users suffer crashes while we are working on that. * tag 'for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mst/vhost: vhost: disable metadata prefetch optimization iommu/virtio: Update to most recent specification balloon: fix up comments mm/balloon_compaction: avoid duplicate page removal
