Subject[PATCH v3 0/2] ksm: count allocated rmap_items and update documentation
Date
KSM can save memory by merging identical pages, but also can consume
additional memory, because it needs to generate rmap_items to save
each scanned page's brief rmap information.

To determine how beneficial the ksm-policy (like madvise), they are using
brings, so we add a new interface /proc/<pid>/ksm_alloced_items for each
process to indicate the total allocated ksm rmap_items of this process.

The detailed description can be seen in the following patches' commit message.

v2->v3:
remake the patches based on the latest linux-next branch.

v1->v2:
Add documentation for the new item.



*** BLURB HERE ***

xu xin (2):
ksm: count allocated ksm rmap_items for each process
