[PATCH 5.14 030/151] xen/balloon: fix cancelled balloon action

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

 



From: Juergen Gross <jgross@xxxxxxxx>

commit 319933a80fd4f07122466a77f93e5019d71be74c upstream.

In case a ballooning action is cancelled the new kernel thread handling
the ballooning might end up in a busy loop.

Fix that by handling the cancelled action gracefully.

While at it introduce a short wait for the BP_WAIT case.
