libxl: fix dom0 autoballooning with Xen 4.8
xen.git commit
57f8b13c changed several of the libxl memory
get/set functions to take 64 bit parameters. The libvirt
libxl driver still uses uint32_t variables for these various
parameters, which is particularly problematic for the
libxl_set_memory_target() function.
When dom0 autoballooning is enabled, libvirt (like xl) determines
the memory needed to start a domain and the memory available. If
memory available is less than memory needed, dom0 is ballooned
down by passing a negative value to libxl_set_memory_target()
'target_memkb' parameter. Prior to xen.git commit
57f8b13c,
'target_memkb' was an int32_t. Subtracting a larger uint32 from
a smaller uint32 and assigning it to int32 resulted in a negative
number. After commit
57f8b13c, the same subtraction is widened
to a int64, resulting in a large positive number. The simple
fix taken by this patch is to assign the difference of the
uint32 values to a temporary int32 variable, which is then
passed to 'target_memkb' parameter of libxl_set_memory_target().
Note that it is undesirable to change libvirt to use 64 bit
variables since it requires setting LIBXL_API_VERSION to 0x040800.
Currently libvirt supports LIBXL_API_VERSION >= 0x040400,
essentially Xen >= 4.4.
