From 997071bcb34005f42e0fe5bc7930e895b070f251 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "K. Y. Srinivasan" Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2012 14:34:42 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm: export a function to get vm committed memory It will be useful to be able to access global memory commitment from device drivers. On the Hyper-V platform, the host has a policy engine to balance the available physical memory amongst all competing virtual machines hosted on a given node. This policy engine is driven by a number of metrics including the memory commitment reported by the guests. The balloon driver for Linux on Hyper-V will use this function to retrieve guest memory commitment. This function is also used in Xen self ballooning code.
