Or is it better for that too to be taken care of by some of the higher level management tools? The OS itself can tell best whether a given memory target is too restrictive and will cause major problems. So hooking off the OOM paths does make sense. The "2% test" is a suitable static check for now -- it might make sense to keep it even when we do have a more dynamic detection and backoff method. These in-kernel checks can complement safety catches in higher-level management tools which might stop a user from e.g. setting a target that is too low for Linux and prevent that target from ever being passed to the guest. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
