From e500d158fb07794724f12655f2eb5702fec613c4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "K. Y. Srinivasan" Date: Fri, 8 Feb 2013 15:57:15 -0800 Subject: Drivers: hv: balloon: Add a parameter to delay pressure reporting Delay reporting memory pressure by a specified amount of time. This addresses the problem where the host may take memory balancing decisions based on incorrect memory pressure data that will be posted as soon as the balloon driver is loaded. Signed-off-by: K. Y.
