KSM related queries >> 3. Are there any means to do content-based page sharing between guests >> as VMware does ? >> > > Yes, KSM. >
How does KSM offers its services. saw in the archives that there is some /dev/ksm device. I mean what are the major steps involved: Is this feature turned on from the beginning ? i.e, always when a guest page is created it is scanned for similarity with existing pages and shared ? or, is it trigger at some events ? If so, when is it trigerred ? Is sharing done only between the pages which have been registered via KSM_REGISTER_MEMORY_REGION ? What are these for ? KSM_CREATE_SHARED_MEMORY_AREA and KSM_CREATE_SCAN ? How much is the overhead involved due to this ? -- Regards, Sukanto Ghosh -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
