From 72e9cf2ab12ef3e050577ffebdb0c88a28df821d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel De Graaf Date: Wed, 19 Oct 2011 17:59:37 -0400 Subject: xen/balloon: Avoid OOM when requesting highmem If highmem pages are requested from the balloon on a system without highmem, the implementation of alloc_xenballooned_pages will allocate all available memory trying to find highmem pages to return. Allow low memory to be returned when highmem pages are requested to avoid this loop.
