[PATCH 1/2] virtio_balloon: return the amount of freed memory from leak_balloon()

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

 



From: Raushaniya Maksudova <rmaksudova@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This value would be useful in the next patch to provide the amount of
the freed memory for OOM killer.

Accessing to vb->num_pfns outside of vb->balloon_lock is wrong and unsafe.
