Abstract:
Managing memory of a computing environment. A determination is made as to whether a block of memory is being used to back an address translation structure used by a guest program. The block of memory is a block of host memory, and the guest program is managed by a virtual machine manager that further manages the host memory. A memory management action is performed based on whether the block of memory is being used to back the address translation structure.
