3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.w...@oracle.com>
commit 58b7b53a36b0be8081fbfc91aeea24b83c20ca1b upstream.
We did not take into account that xen_released_pages would be
used outside the initial E820 parsing code. As such we would
did not subtract from xen_released_pages the count of pages
that we had populated back (instead we just did a simple
extra_pages = released - populated).
The balloon driver uses xen_released_pages to set the initial
current_pages count. If this is wrong (too low) then when a new
(higher) target is set, the balloon driver will request too many pages
from Xen."
This fixes errors such as:
(XEN) memory.c:133:d0 Could not allocate order=0 extent: id=0 memflags=0 (51 of
512)
during bootup and
free_memory : 0
where the free_memory should be 128.
