Subject: [PATCH 0 of 4] Handling of (some) low memory conditions
Date: Wed, 15 Feb 2012 22:57:03 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <patchbomb.1329364623@xdev.gridcentric.ca> (raw)

After some experiments with the sharing code under low memory conditions, we
post the following series:
- Bugfix sharing unshare when we run out of memory.
- Sort out the situations in which we can go to sleep on a wait queue
 if unshare fails (and by extension the semantics of unshare error
 handling)
- Prevent a certain Ocaml-based toolstack from crashing domains doing sharing
 or paging.
- Add a VIRQ that the hypervisor can emit when reaching a low memory threshold.
