Subject: xend memory ballooning: do not bother if guest will not fit in
X-Git-Tag: archive/raspbian/4.8.0-1+rpi1~1^2~14937^2~28
X-Git-Url: https://dgit.raspbian.org/%22http://www.example.com/cgi/success//%22http:/www.example.com/cgi/success/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=44e7c3aa10557fd10f9125ea1d1fc324cb4dc8bd;p=xen.git

xend memory ballooning: do not bother if guest will not fit in
physical memory constraints.

If users require domain memory size larger than a physical memory
size, we do not need waiting for ballooning, and should cause
xm create command error right away.
