I think with the new check of max_pages an overallocation can not happen anymore. If at some point the domU still has room for a superpage, it will be allocated. In case the batch does not fully fill the superpage, the holes will be freed. In the next batch no superpage can be allocated anymore, but single pages will be used. This punching of holes might be inefficent, the win is the usage of superpages in case of contiguous pfns. Olaf
