One more query, what if multiple processes call ioctl KSM_CREATE_SCAN ? Will there be multiple scanners ?
Consider a scenario where two processes A & B separately call KSM_CREATE_SCAN and then start registering some memory pages/areas via KSM_CREATE_SHARED_MEMORY_AREA ioctl. Lets say A registers 4 pages having content X, Y, Z and X . And, process B registers 2 pages having content Z and X. So, will there be only single copy each of X, Y and Z in the entire system or will they be kept separately i.e the scanner for A maintains X, Y, Z single copy each and scanner for B maintains X and Z separately. -- 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
