Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Drivers: hv: hv_balloon: correctly handle val.freeram<num_pages case
Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2015 11:16:40 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1427825801-6588-1-git-send-email-kys@microsoft.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1427825783-6549-1-git-send-email-kys@microsoft.com>

From: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@redhat.com>

'Drivers: hv: hv_balloon: refuse to balloon below the floor' fix does not
correctly handle the case when val.freeram < num_pages as val.freeram is
__kernel_ulong_t and the 'val.freeram - num_pages' value will be a huge
positive value instead of being negative.

Usually host doesn't ask us to balloon more than val.freeram but in case
he have a memory hog started after we post the last pressure report we
can get into troubles.
