Abstract
Managing the guest operating system's eviction of memory pages from a virtual machine. A guest operating system or a hypervisor may cause one or more memory pages within a guest physical frame to become unlikely or ineligible for selection as a candidate for eviction by the guest operating system. Each of the one or more memory pages may also reside, or be intended to reside, in the memory of one or more other virtual machines. In this way, memory pages that are shared across multiple virtual machines may become less likely to be evicted, thereby using memory more efficiently.
