[Xen-devel] unstable: no ballooning

[Kurt Garloff <garloff@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

when using xm mem-set on current (7278) unstable, you'll see

[2005-10-10 10:25:51 xend] ERROR (SrvBase:87) Request mem_target_set failed.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/xen/web/SrvBase.py", line 85, in 
perform
    return op_method(op, req)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/xen/xend/server/SrvDomain.py", line 
132, in op_mem_target_set
    return self.call(self.dom.setMemoryTarget
TypeError: unsubscriptable object

in xend.log.

The fix is trivial, a comma is missing, see (first) attached patch.


HOWEVER, this still does not make balllooning work.
Nobody ever writes to /proc/xen/balloon.

I guess some message should go over xenbus and someone should then 
write to it's balloon file. For dom0, we could do it directly in 
XendDomainInfo.setMemoryTarget(). See attached second patch. It's
a hack and certainly not the right solution.
Who should do it?

Best,
