We carry a patch for kexec(1) which does balloon up before doing the actual kexec call. I propose to get such change into the upstream kexec tools if that is indeed the way to go. The benefit is that the guest waits until every ballooned page is populated. If the host is short on memory then the guest will hang instead of crash after kexec. https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/Kernel:kdump/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-xen-balloon-up.patch Olaf _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
