Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] altering domain memory limit
 

>I need to change the Xen's memory limit (max_pages) for running

>xm does not appear to have a command line option to do that.

Yep, it's currently missing. We need to add a new xend -> domain control
message
that sets a domain's mem_target. This can be plumbed in in an identical
fashion 
to the shutdown/halt message requests that xend sends to domains.

We then need to add a new command to xend to send the message. We should
then add stuff to the domain polling code to check that the domain
actually does what it's been instructed to do, otherwise xend should
consider terminating it.
