RE: [Xen-devel] question about gmfn_to_mfn()

["Guy Zana" <guy@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

mfn = machine frame number, it is an index to a page in the real memory of the 
system.
gmfn = guest's machine frame number and it sometimes called gpfn or just pfn. 
Guests have a translation table between their own virtualized pseudo physical 
memory and the real machine memory -> this is exactly what gmfn_to_mfn does.
Pfn is a generic term that might be used in all kind of situations so you 
should understand from the context.
