Not quite true... Prior to these changes...

# virsh -c lxc:/// dominfo vm1 | grep memory

Now I'll agree that technically what one expected to happen didn't since
it's not supported, but something did happen :-)... And of course after
a destroy the maxmem went back to 500000.

FWIW:
I agree with Peter's observation from your v1 - the two patches should
be one as it is clearer that way what you are doing and leaves no doubt
why the flag is used

I do see that other drivers like qemu & libxl use the MEM_MAXIMUM flag.


So perhaps said differently -

"This patch changes the LXC driver setmaxmem function to support the
'--live', '--config', and '--current' flags by revectoring the code
through the setmem function using the VIR_DOMAIN_MEM_MAXIMUM flag.  The
setmem code is refactored to handle both cases depending on the flag.

The changed maxmem code for the MEM_MAXIMUM path will not allow
modification to the memory values of an active guest unless the --config
switch is used."

I see the next set of changes is essentially cut-n-pasted from qemu,
although the changes after the else are the same as the former setmem
function - it's just the git diff that obfuscates that.

The changes do work as I'd expect, so ACK from that point of view.

I can merge the two patches for you and commit, but I'll give it a bit
to make sure no one else has concerns
