Subject: [PATCH v9 4/5] ksm: consider KSM-placed zeropages when calculating KSM profit
Date: Wed, 24 May 2023 13:58:51 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230524055851.20565-1-yang.yang29@zte.com.cn> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <202305241351365661923@zte.com.cn>
From: xu xin <xu.xin16@zte.com.cn>
When use_zero_pages is enabled, the calculation of ksm profit is not
correct because ksm zero pages is not counted in. So update the
calculation of KSM profit including the documentation.

1) How to determine whether KSM save memory or consume memory in system-wide
range? Here is a simple approximate calculation for reference::
- general_profit =~ pages_sharing * sizeof(page) - (all_rmap_items) *
+ general_profit =~ ksm_saved_pages * sizeof(page) - (all_rmap_items) *
sizeof(rmap_item);

2) The KSM profit inner a single process can be similarly obtained by the
