Merge tag 'for-linus-5.6-rc1-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip
Pull xen updates from Juergen Gross: - fix a bug introduced in 5.5 in the Xen gntdev driver - fix the Xen balloon driver when running on ancient Xen versions - allow Xen stubdoms to control interrupt enable flags of passed-through PCI cards - release resources in Xen backends under memory pressure * tag 'for-linus-5.6-rc1-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip: xen/blkback: Consistently insert one empty line between functions xen/blkback: Remove unnecessary static variable name prefixes xen/blkback: Squeeze page pools if a memory pressure is detected xenbus/backend: Protect xenbus callback with lock xenbus/backend: Add memory pressure handler callback xen/gntdev: Do not use mm notifiers with autotranslating guests xen/balloon: Support xend-based toolstack take two xen-pciback: optionally allow interrupt enable flag writes

+Description:
+ List of devices which can have interrupt control flag (INTx,
+ MSI, MSI-X) set by a connected guest. It is meant to be set
+ only when the guest is a stubdomain hosting device model (qemu)
+ and the actual device is assigned to a HVM. It is not safe
+ (similar to permissive attribute) to set for a devices assigned
+ to a PV guest. The device is automatically removed from this
+ list when the connected pcifront terminates.
