If the guest memfd is already told to get 1G pages in some normal way, why do we need a dedicated pool just for the KHO filesystem? Back to my suggestion, can't KHO simply freeze the guest memfd and then extract the memory layout, and just use the normal allocator? Or do you have a hard requirement that only KHO allocated memory can be preserved across kexec? Jason
