The maximum number of entries which it can hold is defined by MAX_FGPT_ENTRIES(1000). When the array is completely filled, it is scanned and only the pages which are available in the buddy are stored. This process continues until the array is filled with pages which are part of the buddy free list. After which it wakes up a kernel per-cpu-thread.
> This kernel per-cpu-thread rescans the per-cpu-array for any re-allocation and if the page is not reallocated and present in the buddy, the kernel thread attempts to isolate it from the buddy. If it is successfully isolated, the page is added to another per-cpu array. Once the entire scanning process is complete, all the isolated pages are reported to the host through an existing virtio-balloon driver.

For example when the guest size increases and it starts making large allocations fixed size limits this solution's ability to capture all the freed pages. This will result in less guest free memory getting reported to the host.

We continue launching the guests until a guest gets killed due to low memory condition in the host.

So I tried reproducing your test and I am not having much luck.
According to the sysctl in the guest I am seeing
"vm.guest-page-hinting = 1" which is supposed to indicate that the
hinting is enabled in both QEMU and the guest right? I'm just wanting
to verify that this is the case before I start doing any debugging.

I'm assuming you never really ran any multi-threaded tests on a
multi-CPU guest did you? With the patches applied I am seeing
stability issues. If I enable a VM with multiple CPUs and run
something like the page_fault1 test from the will-it-scale suite I am
seeing multiple traces being generated by the guest kernel and it
ultimately just hangs.

I have included the traces below. There end up being 3 specific
issues, a double free that is detected, the RCU stall, and then starts
complaining about a soft lockup.

Thanks.
