commit d2b77608e9e9c23416a9ac93a50054348cb51653 Author: Jim Fehlig Date: Mon Jan 16 10:51:40 2017 -0700 libxl: fix reporting of maximum memory The libxl driver reports different values of maximum memory depending on state of a domain. If inactive, maximum memory value is reported correctly. When active, maximum memory is derived from max_pages value returned by the XEN_SYSCTL_getdomaininfolist sysctl operation. But max_pages can be changed by toolstacks and does not necessarily represent the maximum memory a domain can use during its active lifetime. A better location for determining a domain's maximum memory is the /local/domain//memory/static-max node in xenstore. This value is set from the libxl_domain_build_info.max_memkb field when creating the domain. Currently it cannot be changed nor can its value be exceeded by a balloon operation. From libvirt's perspective, always reporting maximum memory with virDomainDefGetMemoryTotal() will produce the same results as reading the static-max node in xenstore.
