[Fix] A minimal fix for this bug can be found here: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=3dcf63677d4eb7fdfc13290c8558c301d2588fe8 This allows the ballooning to be cancelled if adding new memory failed which means that the error message is printed once instead of repeatedly. There should still be effort to root cause this issue and determine how to avoid the ballooning errors in the first place. I still think this patch should be applied to alleviate symptoms until root cause is discovered. -- Xen balloon errors on HVM instances on EC2 (Xen 4.2.amazon): ubuntu@ip-10-63-20-99:~$ uname -a Linux ip-10-63-20-99 3.13.0-23-generic #45-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 4 06:58:38 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ubuntu@ip-10-63-20-99:~$ dmesg |grep xen [ 0.000000] xen:events: Xen HVM callback vector for event delivery is enabled [ 0.494613] xen:balloon: Initialising balloon driver [ 0.496046] xen_balloon: Initialising balloon driver [ 0.500077] xen:balloon: reserve_additional_memory: add_memory() failed: -17 [ 0.541047] Switched to clocksource xen [ 0.562579] xen: --> pirq=16 -> irq=8 (gsi=8) [ 0.562622] xen: --> pirq=17 -> irq=12 (gsi=12) [ 0.562649] xen: --> pirq=18 -> irq=1 (gsi=1) [ 0.562673] xen: --> pirq=19 -> irq=6 (gsi=6) [ 0.562705] xen: --> pirq=20 -> irq=4 (gsi=4) [ 0.920527] xen: --> pirq=21 -> irq=47 (gsi=47) [ 0.920596] xen:grant_table: Grant tables using version 1 layout [ 1.029661] xen_netfront: Initialising Xen virtual ethernet driver [ 1.236083] xenbus_probe_frontend: Device with no driver: device/vfb/0 [ 2.516067] xen:balloon: reserve_additional_memory: add_memory() failed: -17 [ 6.533941] xen:balloon: reserve_additional_memory: add_memory() failed: -17 [ 14.560075] xen:balloon: reserve_additional_memory: add_memory() failed: -17 [ 30.592064] xen:balloon: reserve_additional_memory: add_memory() failed: -17 [ 62.688153] xen:balloon: reserve_additional_memory: add_memory() failed: -17 [ 94.752164] xen:balloon: reserve_additional_memory: add_memory() failed: -17 [ 126.816161] xen:balloon: reserve_additional_memory: add_memory() failed: -17 [ 158.880084] xen:balloon: reserve_additional_memory: add_memory() failed: -17 [ 190.944069] xen:balloon: reserve_additional_memory: add_memory() failed: -17 [ 223.008141] xen:balloon: reserve_additional_memory: add_memory() failed: -17 [ 255.072112] xen:balloon: reserve_additional_memory: add_memory() failed: -17 [ 287.136190] xen:balloon: reserve_additional_memory: add_memory() failed: -17 [ 319.200053] xen:balloon: reserve_additional_memory: add_memory() failed: -17 [ 351.264164] xen:balloon: reserve_additional_memory: add_memory() failed: -17 [ 383.328080] xen:balloon: reserve_additional_memory: add_memory() failed: -17 [ 415.392077] xen:balloon: reserve_additional_memory: add_memory() failed: -17 [ 447.456112] xen:balloon: reserve_additional_memory: add_memory() failed: -17 [ 479.520128] xen:balloon: reserve_additional_memory: add_memory() failed: -17 [ 511.584110] xen:balloon: reserve_additional_memory: add_memory() failed: -17 [ 543.648181] xen:balloon: reserve_additional_memory: add_memory() failed: -17 [ 575.712070] xen:balloon: reserve_additional_memory: add_memory() failed: -17 [ 607.776178] xen:balloon: reserve_additional_memory: add_memory() failed: -17
