I've seen this error occur on m3.medium (3.75GB RAM) and c3.large (3.75GB) EC2 instances, but not on m3.large (7.5GB), m3.xlarge (15GB) or t2.small (4GB) instances.
Interestingly, it also does not occur on t2.micro (1GB) instances. All of the VMs in question are running kernel 3.13.0-29-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1304001 Title: xen:balloon errors in 14.04 beta Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1304001/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
