Hi,
>From xl.cfg(5):
maxmem=MBYTES
Specifies the maximum amount of memory a guest can ever see. The
value of maxmem= must be equal or greater than memory=.
In combination with memory= it will start the guest "pre-ballooned",
if the values of memory= and maxmem= differ.
At present when creating (pv) domains with a configuration such as:
memory = 512
maxmem = 1024
The maximum memory of the guest will not go above 512 (this also shows in the
maxmem column in xl top). I expect that the vm will start with 512 and then be
able to increase up to 1024 if there is memory available for xen to allocate
and the guest is under memory pressure. I have been carrying variations of
this
patch originally written by Wei Liu through 4.[345] and having just jumped to
4.8 noted it is still a problem so thought I would raise this again. With this
applied everything is stable and working as expected - Xen 4.8.1 + Linux 4.1.43
(dom0 and guest) with tmem enabled in Xen, dom0 and guest.
