[PATCH 1/2] calculate 'available' memory in the separate function

Show all headers | View raw

From: Igor Redko <redkoi@virtuozzo.com>

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).
