Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Drivers: hv: balloon: Prevent the host from ballooning the guest too low
Date: Fri, 8 Feb 2013 15:57:16 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1360367836-3495-2-git-send-email-kys@microsoft.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1360367836-3495-1-git-send-email-kys@microsoft.com>
Based on the amount of memory being managed set a floor on how low the
guest can be ballooned.
