摘要:
Reducing an amount of memory used by a virtual machine. A system includes multiple virtual machines that share common pages of memory. The number of private pages associated with each virtual machine is minimized by ensuring that pages that a guest operating system regards as now free or zeroed are efficiently mapped by the hypervisor to a shared zero page. Upon a hypervisor determining that one or more guest physical frame numbers are assigned to free memory pages, the hypervisor updates mapping data to map the one or more guest physical frame numbers to a shared zero page within the machine frame.
