Hi,
I have been successfully using the self-balloon driver on my Ubuntu
bionic systems in order to over-provision memory for lots of PV linux
guests. The workload works well for this strategy as typically a small
number of guests require more memory for a short period and then they
yield it again once they've done their work. After upgrading to the
latest HWE kernel based on Linux 5.3 this driver has been removed so the
guests only start with the 'memory' value and do not increase to
'maxmem' when required. Is there a replacement driver which does this
work?
Thanks,
James
