 Since the latest ballooning patch "Add hugepage support to balloon

<http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git;a=commit;h=0e898d5e9b893324435e0e77b67fe8d2f0523dbe>" 
i experience dom0 console freezes. Additional to that there is a 
stacktrace about a kernel-bug in drivers/xen/balloon.c in line 346, 
invalide opcode 0000 (i can send the full stacktrace if someone is 
interested).
  
 Yes, please.  Presumably its from the BUG_ON testing the hypercall 
return status?
 The cause for that seems to be that in the 
decrease_reservation-funtion the PageHighMem - check is not executed 
on the assocciated page for the current pfn. Its always the last page 
that got allocated in the for-loop before, when all the pages are 
allocated.
 With the attached patch that crashes dont occur anymore. But im not a 
kernel-developer so im not sure that this is the correct fix.
 
It looks reasonable to me.  Dave?
