A mechanism for operating a virtual memory is provided in an operating system. The mechanism detects the existence of a central memory loan pool, identifies a segment of memory that is loanable, and transmits an indicator that the segment is available for loaning to the memory loan pool. The operating system contributing memory can monitor its actual memory capacity and reclaim the loaned segment if the amount of memory available to the loaning operating system (OS) gets below a predetermined value.
