Subject: how can I find out the free pages in a guest OS?

Hi, all
        I want to reduce the checkpoint size of a VM by memory exclusion. I try to find out all the free pages by reference count at VMM-level, As they declared that:
         /* Page is on a free list: ((count_info & PGC_count_mask) == 0). */ , in struct page_info which is defined in /xen/include/asm-x86/mm.h, but  unfortunately, all the pages in a idle VM accords with this condition. I  prints out  the reference count of all memory pages, all of them are  equal to or bigger than 2. Anyone can tell me the reason? and how can I find out the free pages in a guest OS?


Best regards
