The 8mb slack is not real memory allocated. It's extra room in the pfn space. The memory's domain allocation remains capped at the amount intended. I haven't seen anyone in xen-devel for five years needing more slack than that ') Particularly since the network rx flipping path stopped being the default Andres Vincent Hanquez wrote: On Mon, Nov 30, 2009 at 07:10:58PM +0000, Andres Lagar-Cavilla wrote:Contemplate 8MB of slack for PV domains, since they do ballooning (or flipping network rx) and need some extra room in their pfn space. Signed-off-by: Andres Lagar-Cavilla <andres@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>this probably should be in the build structure. not magically adding 8 mb without the toolstack knowing, otherwise no toolstack can provide more or less slacks on a per domain basis. And it make precise memory handling a nightmare, and thus dynamic memory handling too. in some way this parameter is just like the shadow_memory one in the hvm build structure. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
