Sorry I didn't follow up on this. Things looked better after the patch but I was seeing a strange issue where the memory was being reduced to some minimum and the balloon would never shrink so the available memory was seemingly locked from then on. I ran out of time to investigate this later behaviour and didn't have the time to check if it had always been the case but I think I see other patches saying you nailed it and other issues. Do you have a published git tree with all these pieces in or have they already been mainlined? -- Sitsofe | http://sucs.org/~sits/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
