It indicates to the hypervisor how big the balloon can be inflated without pushing the guest system to swap. This metric would be very useful in VM orchestration software to improve memory management of different VMs under overcommit. This patch (of 2): Factor out calculation of the available memory counter into a separate exportable function, in order to be able to use it in other parts of the kernel. In particular, it appears a relevant metric to report to the hypervisor via virtio-balloon statistics interface (in a followup patch). Signed-off-by: Igor Redko Signed-off-by: Denis V.
