Re: [Xen-devel] xm mem-set issues

The bug here is that 'xm list' shows the current target allocation for
the guest (as specified to mem-set) rather than what the guest is
currently using. It'd be good to fix this.

I thought the balloon driver was going through with the increase. I will
send in a fix for this too.

It'll go as far as it can, subject to its reservation cap and subject to physical memory limitations of the host system. The balloon driver and the memory targetting system are working okay here I think.

And for the mem-set to less that 2% of initial memory issue, I am
assuming the check should go in the balloon driver. Am I right?

That would probably be a good idea. I'd prefer a more dynamic check that hooked off Linux low-memory paths (e.g., steps in before the OOM killer) and got the balloon driver to back off. That would work in a wider range of situations.
