I have been testing this kernel for a while now as well and is performing well. I have tested Xen HVM, HVPVM and PVM guests all with tmem enabled. Automated testing is scheduled to go into our test farm (that runs ~80,000 hours of QA of testing of Oracle products on Oracle Linux per day) soon.

Likewise. We are planning to incorporate Transcendent Memory support into future Oracle VM 3.0 releases as support functionality, i.e. that this will be enabled on a per-server/per-guest basis so that guests are capable of reducing memory footprint. We see this as a critical feature to compete with other hypervisor's memory sharing/de-duplication functionality.

Thanks,
Avi
