On the Hyper-V platform, the host has a policy engine to balance the available physical memory amongst all competing virtual machines hosted on a given node. This policy engine is driven by a number of metrics including the memory commitment reported by the guests. The balloon driver for Linux on Hyper-V will use this function to retrieve guest memory commitment. This function is also used in Xen self ballooning code.
