Today I saw the kernel logs full of this error:

Ballooned memory is required by backends which is why you're seeing it
even with auto-ballooning disabled.

Thanks for your reply.
Is correct that show it also if dom0 have fixed memory size and xl.conf
have balloning disabled?
Yes.

Can this problem cause a crash or other important aftermath?
No. It's harmless.

Can you apply or request the backport of this fix to stable branchs?
No. A fix for a harmless log message is not critical enough for stable.

David

Thanks for your reply.
New debian kernel is freezed to 3.16 version without this fix (3.16.7-ckt2-1), I not found a workaround for it, even with dom0 mem fixed and autoballoning disabled I still have big syslog and kern.log full of these messages when I start 1 or more domUs that make difficult see other parts of logs. And another strange thing that I not understand is why older kernel (3.2) not have this problem.
Someone has advices about it please?

Thanks for any reply and sorry for my bad english.
