I think this issue present in any version, although I've not looked further than 4.15.

SUMMARY

Host memory stats are not updated frequently, leading to (possible) overcommit issues when live migrating VMs to a host. A manual restart of cloudstack-agent does update the stats, although this is not a good solution.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

- Use any KVM hypervisor
- In my case in agent.properties: host.reserved.mem.mb=65536
- Migrate VMs to it until you reach capacity
- It is possible to exceed the host reserved memory

EXPECTED RESULTS

There should always be RAM available of at least what is specified in agent.properties: host.reserved.mem.mb

ACTUAL RESULTS

CloudStack will commit 100% of the host's available RAM to instances
