From: Konstantin Neumoin <kneumoin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> At this moment oom notification in balloon does not work as expected. After virtballoon_oom_notify there is an infinitive loop: - virtballoon_oom_notify was called and balloon was deflated - balloon get notification that config was changed, compare target and actual and try to reach target again. This patch adds global variable fail_counter which indicates that oom has been happened. We check that fail_counter was changed between calls update_balloon_size_func. In this case we should not try to inflate balloon even if actual != target. Signed-off-by: Konstantin Neumoin <kneumoin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Denis V. Lunev <den@xxxxxxxxxx> CC: Michael S.
