Hi, guys
Why does momd(ballooning manager in oVirt) explicitly deflate the balloon when host gets
plenty of memory?
as far as I know, momd is supporting memory ballooning with setMemory API to
inflate/deflate the balloon in guest
and I've just checked the memory change in the guest after inflating the balloon.
as expected, memory(total, free, available) in the guest was reduced just after inflating
the balloon, but it was "automatically" restored to its initial memory after a
few seconds.
So, here I'm wondering why deflation is additionally required even though it can be
restored automatically just after seconds.
Thanks.

Sorry for the foolish question,
There was a ballooning daemon and memory isn't automatically restored after disabling
that daemon.
Thanks,
