Subject: [PATCH RESEND 1/6] Drivers: hv: hv_balloon: Make adjustments in computing the floor
Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2015 23:54:29 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1420876474-9205-1-git-send-email-kys@microsoft.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1420876440-9164-1-git-send-email-kys@microsoft.com>
Make adjustments in computing the balloon floor. The current computation
of the balloon floor was not appropriate for virtual machines with more than
10 GB of assigned memory - we would get into situations where the host would
agressively balloon down the guest and leave the guest in an unusable state.
This patch fixes the issue by raising the floor.
