This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled Drivers: hv: balloon: Ensure pressure reports are posted regularly to the linux-3.13.y-queue branch of the 3.13.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.13.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.13.11.5. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.13.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From 322e3dd5fde98395aed747a7422cd4bcb5ce799e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "K. Y. Srinivasan" <kys@microsoft.com> Date: Wed, 23 Apr 2014 13:53:39 -0700 Subject: Drivers: hv: balloon: Ensure pressure reports are posted regularly commit ae339336dc950b9b05e7ccd3565dd3e8781c06d9 upstream. The current code posts periodic memory pressure status from a dedicated thread. Under some conditions, especially when we are releasing a lot of memory into the guest, we may not send timely pressure reports back to the host. Fix this issue by reporting pressure in all contexts that can be active in this driver. Signed-off-by: K. Y.
