Hi Folks,

A fellow student and I wish to do run some experiments with KVM.
Specifically, we would like to examine
KVM's guest paging/swapping mechanism, make some changes and run some tests.
After a brief search through
the docs and code, we would greatly appreciate help with the following:

1) Guest Paging : What is the selection mechanism used by KVM for evicting a
guest's page ?
What if there are any conflicts between host and guest as to which page to
evict ?

2) Where can we find the code for the above (guest paging).

3) Are the KVM guests scheduled by the (hosts) standard linux scheduler ? It
appears that this
is the case but I want to be sure.

4) Have there been any changes to the host's page/buffer cache ? Are there
any changes planned ?

Thanks in advance
Arjun
