which this kvm instance should be able to allocate." But "free" implies much more that the objects are there and ready for use. "available" is a much better description, especially when you see how it is calculated. In this patch, we abstract its use into a function. We'll soon replace the function's contents by calculating the value in a different way. All of the reads of n_free_mmu_pages are taken care of in this patch. The modification sites will be handled in a patch later in the series. Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen Signed-off-by: Tim Pepper Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity ØXT “
