Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH 1/2] balloon driver: relax BUG_ON() in increasee_

Yes. So when autotranslate feature flag is set,
BUG_ON(phys_to_machine_mapping_valid(pfn)) becomes BUG_ON(1)
which results in kernel panic.
This means that the balloon driver can't be used with autotranslate
feature flag set.
Is this really your intention?

Oh yes, good point.

Actually I guess it's not clear what phys_to_machine_mapping_valid() shoudl return for auto-translated guests. Possibly it should assert that autotranslate is false.
