[PATCH RESEND 1/6] Drivers: hv: hv_balloon: Make adjustments in computing the floor

From: K. Y. Srinivasan
Date: Sat Jan 10 2015 - 01:43:43 EST


Make adjustments in computing the balloon floor. The current computation
of the balloon floor was not appropriate for virtual machines with more than
10 GB of assigned memory - we would get into situations where the host would
agressively balloon down the guest and leave the guest in an unusable state.
This patch fixes the issue by raising the floor.
