Hi list.
This is a small patch what allow ksm dedupe "whole" system memory.
I think what people with tiny pc and android developers will be happy
after this patch.
I just like clear memory =].
I have tested it and it working very good. For testing apply it and
enable ksm:
echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run
This show how much memory saved:
echo $[$(cat /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_shared)*$(getconf PAGE_SIZE)/1024 ]KB
(i use linux-next-git 20141031)
It add very small overhead to mmap call's.
Please check my code, may be i should move new functions to other file?
I think about sysfs switcher like:
/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/mark_new_vma # 0 or 1 if 1 new vma will be marked
like VM_MERGEABLE.
Can you advise me something?
I implement 2 new functions:
ksm_vm_flags_mod() - working only in mm/mmap.c file, change default flags
ksm_vma_add_new() - add new created vma to ksm internal tree
If you see broken patch lines i have also attach patch.
