- What happens if a virtual machine running under ESX reboots and starts accessing memory that belonged to the balloon driver?
- Most OSes have some sort of
mpin(void∗ va, unsigned len)syscall, which will pin a range of addresses in physical memory. Explain how to use this system call to replace the need to write a balloon driver. Make sure to describe how to communicate with ESX. What is the advantage/disadvantage of this approach?
