Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes monitoring page allocations in a file system that includes encrypted files, determining if a page allocation request corresponds to an encrypted file, and balancing encrypted page allocations across a plurality of virtual memory pools in response to determining that the page allocation request corresponds to an encrypted file. In some embodiments, balancing encrypted page allocations across the plurality of virtual memory pools comprises determining a virtual memory pool having a lowest encrypted page count and allocating a page from the virtual memory pool having the lowest encrypted page count. A corresponding computer program product and computer system are also disclosed herein.
