as under "memory"node, there probably are several nodes besides
"target" (that means what triggered this watch may be not balloon
request), i guess it is better to do some checking before calling
set_new_target, like this:


if (new_target != target_pages)
    set_new_target(new_target >> PAGE_SHIFT);
