Quoting Mohan G (mohan_gg at yahoo.com):
> Hi.If I have configured a container with certain X amount of memory and if the host/non-containerized process are under pressure, then they can steal the containers memory. I wanted to understand if this is any different when it comes to KVM. Does host in a VM environment steal guest pages in case it needs memory or are the guest pages pinned for itself.

It has to use balloon for that.
