From 2bb6248308c9e2b8bfd13791c8b36fe21d230ed3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Juergen Gross Date: Wed, 19 Jun 2019 11:00:56 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 2/2] xen: let alloc_xenballooned_pages() fail if not enough memory free Instead of trying to allocate pages with GFP_USER in add_ballooned_pages() check the available free memory via si_mem_available(). GFP_USER is far less limiting memory exhaustion than the test via si_mem_available(). This will avoid dom0 running out of memory due to excessive foreign page mappings especially on ARM and on x86 in PVH mode, as those don't have a pre-ballooned area which can be used for foreign mappings. As the normal ballooning suffers from the same problem don't balloon down more than si_mem_available() pages in one iteration. At the same time limit the default maximum number of retries. This is part of XSA-300.
