[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1192065] [NEW] qemu release memory to system


From: bhasker
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [Bug 1192065] [NEW] qemu release memory to system
Date: Tue, 18 Jun 2013 07:57:17 -0000

Public bug reported:

Qemu pre-allocates the maximum balloon amount which is inconvinient if
all of the memory is used up and some other system needs to be added
memory resource

eg:- I have 4GB RAM with 4 virtual systems to be run.
I want each of them to start with 1GB RAM with maximum 2GB possible. This is 
not achievable since qemu pre-allocates the maximum balloon amount which is 
2GBx4 systems . So to start all 4 systems the system needs 8GB RAM rather than 
4GB RAM to start with although I have told initial balloon amount to be 1GB.

** Affects: qemu
