[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#927071: xen: More balloon-leak observation

[Elliott Mitchell]

What I'm seeing seems kind of related to the topic of XSA-300.  Mainly
something ballooning out pages.

The Debian Wiki advises reducing the amount of memory used by Domain-0.
Perhaps the Debian Wiki should be advising to try to keep the Domain-0
maximum substantially higher than the actual allocation in order to allow
for ballooning pages used for I/O?

For my case it looks like Domain-0 can function with less than 300MB of
allocated memory, but needs around 200MB of ballooned pages for I/O.
