VM MEMORY RECLAMATION BY BUFFERING HYPERVISOR-SWAPPED PAGES

Abstract:

In some aspects, a non-transitory computer readable storage medium includes instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to detect that system software is proceeding to swap memory content of a virtual machine (VM) from memory to storage, wherein the memory is allocated to the VM; buffer the memory content; and perform alternative memory reclamation of the memory.
