[PATCH V2 1/3] Drivers: hv: hv_balloon: Make adjustments in computing the floor

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Make adjustments in computing the balloon floor. The current computation
of the balloon floor was not appropriate for virtual machines with more than
10 GB of assigned memory - we would get into situations where the host would
agressively balloon down the guest and leave the guest in an unusable state.
This patch fixes the issue by raising the floor.
