How to enable memory balloon? #91

Closed ghost closed 2 years ago

ghost commented 2 years ago

Kernel: 5.14 https://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/VMWARE_BALLOON.html

The .config should have the CONFIG_VMWARE_BALLOON option, but it is missing. How do I enable memory balloon?

That's a kernel configuration option and I don't have kernel ebuilds here.

Anyway, you enable that in something like make menuconfig by first enabling the parts it depends on. See the line:

depends on: CONFIG_VMWARE_VMCI && CONFIG_X86 && CONFIG_HYPERVISOR_GUEST
