[Bug 1584597] Re: Hyper-V Memory Ballooning re-broken in 16.04
I have tried a number of different reproduction scenarios at this point
on 4.4.0-21 and 4.4.0-22 and am not getting 100% except on a fresh
install.
Why are you modprobing hv_balloon? It should always be present and
should never need to be loaded manually.

Title:
Hyper-V Memory Ballooning re-broken in 16.04
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:

Status in linux source package in Xenial:
Triaged
Bug description:
Regression: #1294283 fixed memory ballooning in Hyper-V in 14.04, but
the bug has returned in 16.04.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create Gen2 Hyper-V VM
2. Install Ubuntu 16.04
3. modprobe hv_balloon
Memory usage according to Hyper-V Manager will not change
This has been reproduced on 2 fresh Ubuntu Server 16.04 instances.
I installed linux-generic-xenial on a 14.04 instance, rebooted,
modprobe'd hv_balloon and memory usage in Hyper-V Manager reduced to
the correct level.
Environment:
Host: Windows NanoServer 2016
Ubuntu Server 16.04 version_signature: `Ubuntu 4.4.0-21.37-generic 4.4.6`
Ubuntu Server 14.04 version_signature: `Ubuntu 4.4.0-22.40~14.04.1-generic 4.4.8`
