[PATCH 4.4 17/47] vmw_balloon: fix inflation of 64-bit GFNs

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

 



4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Nadav Amit <namit@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 09755690c6b7c1eabdc4651eb3b276f8feb1e447 upstream.

When balloon batching is not supported by the hypervisor, the guest
frame number (GFN) must fit in 32-bit. However, due to a bug, this check
was mistakenly ignored. In practice, when total RAM is greater than
16TB, the balloon does not work currently, making this bug unlikely to
happen.

Fixes: ef0f8f112984 ("VMware balloon: partially inline vmballoon_reserve_page.")
