[PATCH 2/2] Drivers: hv: hv_balloon: refuse to balloon below the floor

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

 



When host asks us to balloon up we need to be sure we're not committing suicide
by overballooning. Use already existent 'floor' metric as our lowest possible
value for free ram.
