Subject: [PATCH v4 0/9] Fourth revision of the performance improvement patch to the VMware balloon driver
Date: Thu,  6 Aug 2015 13:33:38 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1438893227-2230-1-git-send-email-moltmann@vmware.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20150805232613.GA22752@kroah.com>

This is the fourth revision fo the path to the VMWare balloon driver. The original
was send to linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org on 4/14/15 10.29 am PST. Please refer to
the original change for an overview.

v1:
- Initial implementation
v2
- Address suggestions by Dmitry Totoknov
  - Use UINT_MAX as "infitite" rate instead of special casing -1
v3:
- Change commit comment for step 6 to better explain what impact ballooning has
  on the VM performance.
v4:
- Add missing include header <linux/vmalloc.h> in step 3

Thanks
Philip
