Can anyone answer these queries regarding KSM ? How does KSM offers its services through the /dev/ksm device ?
Are every guest pages scanned in KVM while using KSM or page-scanning and sharing is triggered on some event (low memory, etc) ? 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 ? Where are the shared pages kept ? In kernel memory ? Aren't the shared pages always pinned in RAM (due to same reasons for pinned shadowed pages) ? 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
