give a look at how freememslack is set in
tools/libxl/libxl.c:libxl__fill_dom0_memory_info:
free_mem_slack_kb = (uint32_t) (PAGE_TO_MEMKB(physinfo.total_pages) -
info.current_memkb);
/* From empirical measurements the free_mem_slack shouldn't be more
* than 15% of the total memory present on the system. */
if (free_mem_slack_kb > PAGE_TO_MEMKB(physinfo.total_pages) * 0.15)
free_mem_slack_kb = PAGE_TO_MEMKB(physinfo.total_pages) * 0.15;
libxl__xs_write(gc, t, free_mem_slack_path, "%"PRIu32, free_mem_slack_kb);
the memory left free in the system is never more than 15% of the total
memory available and is calculated as the difference between
physinfo.total_pages (total pages in the system) and info.current_memkb
(memory currently used by dom0 at boot).
