Re: RFC [PATCH v4 2/7] Enable balloon drivers to report inflated memory

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

 




Other problem is that there are drivers that do not use
adjust_managed_page_count().

Which ones? Do we care?

VMWare and Virtio balloon drivers. I recently proposed to unify them and
the objection was that it would break existing users - which is valid so
we must care i guess.

I'm confused, I think we care about actual adjustment of the total pages available here, that we want to notify the system about. These approaches (vmware, virtio-balloon with deflate-on-oom) don't adjust totalpages, because the assumption is that we can get back the inflated memory any time we really need it automatically.
