xen: let alloc_xenballooned_pages() fail if not enough memory free commit a1078e821b605813b63bf6bca414a85f804d5c66 upstream. Instead of trying to allocate pages with GFP_USER in add_ballooned_pages() check the available free memory via si_mem_available(). GFP_USER is far less limiting memory exhaustion than the test via si_mem_available(). This will avoid dom0 running out of memory due to excessive foreign page mappings especially on ARM and on x86 in PVH mode, as those don't have a pre-ballooned area which can be used for foreign mappings. As the normal ballooning suffers from the same problem don't balloon down more than si_mem_available() pages in one iteration. At the same time limit the default maximum number of retries. This is part of XSA-300. Signed-off-by: Juergen Gross <jgross@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
