[ 57/99] Drivers: hv: balloon: Do not post pressure status if interrupted

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Aug 02 2013 - 06:46:41 EST


3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "K. Y. Srinivasan" <kys@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit c5e2254f8d63a6654149aa32ac5f2b7dd66a976d upstream.

When we are posting pressure status, we may get interrupted and handle
the un-balloon operation. In this case just don't post the status as we
know the pressure status is stale.
