Subject: maximum memory size allocated by _xmalloc
Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2012 18:13:27 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <008601cd5f45$6eff7530$4cfe5f90$@core.kaist.ac.kr> (raw)

Hi all, 

I'm currently inserting my own code to adjust the several existing memory
ballooning works. 

To accomplish it, I manage some kind of statistics in Xen memory area. 

Using _xmalloc, I've allocated certain size of memory chunk for the data
structure. ( I varied it from 10kb to 24 MB.)

When the size is equal to 24 MB, xen won't boot anymore.  (stuck during the
xmalloc, according to my debugging. _xmalloc returns NULL.)
There was no problem when the size is below 12MB.

Is there any limitation such as max memory size for _xmalloc? 

I suspected xen heap size, but, it is no longer adjustable. Right? 

I hope somebody can give me a clue.  Thanks.
