[PATCH v2 3/4] selftests: vm: add KSM zero page merging test

From: Zhansaya Bagdauletkyzy
Date: Wed Jul 14 2021 - 04:56:32 EST


Add check_ksm_zero_page_merge() function to test that empty pages are
being handled properly. For this, several zero pages are allocated and
merged using madvise. If use_zero_pages is enabled, the pages must be
shared with the special kernel zero pages; otherwise, they are merged
as usual duplicate pages. The test is run as follows: ./ksm_tests -Z
