Some time ago at an IBM Share I remember seeing a new technique to "balloon" kernel memory under a 2.6 kernel (SLES9 Update 3?) to make less memory available to all applications. The idea was to use the ballooning technique to lower available memory until swapping was induced. The problem is, I can't find any reference to it beyond Coorperative Memory Management (CMM1 and CMM2) and in all of my searching I can't find the specific commands/kernel modules that are used to execute a manual ballooning process.
Any hints? Or am I completely looney?
