1What: /sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/max_retry_count
2Date: May 2011
3KernelVersion: 2.6.39
4Contact: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
5Description:
6 The maximum number of times the balloon driver will
7 attempt to increase the balloon before giving up. See
8 also 'retry_count' below.
9 A value of zero means retry forever and is the default one.

12Date: May 2011
13KernelVersion: 2.6.39
14Contact: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
15Description:
16 The limit that 'schedule_delay' (see below) will be
17 increased to. The default value is 32 seconds.

20Date: May 2011
21KernelVersion: 2.6.39
22Contact: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
23Description:
24 The current number of times that the balloon driver
25 has attempted to increase the size of the balloon.
26 The default value is one. With max_retry_count being
27 zero (unlimited), this means that the driver will attempt
28 to retry with a 'schedule_delay' delay.

31Date: May 2011
32KernelVersion: 2.6.39
33Contact: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
34Description:
35 The time (in seconds) to wait between attempts to
36 increase the balloon. Each time the balloon cannot be
37 increased, 'schedule_delay' is increased (until
38 'max_schedule_delay' is reached at which point it
39 will use the max value).
