Bug#784688: Thousands of "xen:balloon: Cannot add additional memory (-17) messages" despite dom0 ballooning disabled



Do you have a package version which you know to be good? How confident are
you that it is ok (sometimes the problem is intermittent)?

Lastly, is there any chance you upgraded the Xen packages at the same time?
I'm starting to wonder if maybe this is not a kernel issue.

Sorry, but there is chance, sadly.

But I checked logs more thoroughly and found it even on more recent kernels:
1) Lot of messages on 3.14-2-amd64 with xen-4.6, 13 domU's.
2) 4.3.0-1-amd64 xen-4.6, only two messages shortly after boot, only 1 domU running:
[   12.473778] xen:balloon: Cannot add additional memory (-17)
[   21.673298] xen:balloon: Cannot add additional memory (-17)
uptime 17 days.

Previous on same machine was 4.2.0-1-amd64 with more (-17)'s

3) 4.3.0-1-amd64, one month, several reboots, average 4 domU's, and no messages

4) 3.16.0-4-amd64, xen-4.1, 22 domU's, uptime 188 days, in last month I see only

and this is roughly the time last machine was created(started).
