Changing dynamic pagepool can cause the system to hang

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

The proposed changes to prevent system hang are as follows: 1. The code checks for available memory and if the available memory is less than the requested value, return the value users can change

2. As it takes time to allocate memory, the code returns periodic messages to let users know that the change is in progress with the incremental value acquired

2. If there is any issue allocating the memory, the code reverts back the old value and let users know that the request fails i.e. implement a timeout value and not to hang waiting for kernel to allocate the memory

    Has this been raised through Support? This sounds like a bug, not an enhancement request
