From 532a6086e35fa3b5761e68af36d4e42a550eba15 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anthony Liguori Date: Mon, 18 Aug 2008 17:15:31 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] virtio_balloon: fix towards_target when deflating balloon Both v and vb->num_pages are u32 and unsigned int respectively. If v is less than vb->num_pages (and it is, when deflating the balloon), the result is a very large 32-bit number. Since we're returning a s64, instead of getting the same negative number we desire, we get a very large positive number. This handles the case where v < vb->num_pages and ensures we get a small, negative, s64 as the result. Rusty: please push this for 2.6.27-rc4. It's probably appropriate for the stable tree too as it will cause an unexpected OOM when ballooning.
