[PATCH linux-next v4] ksm: add ksm involvement information for each process
From: xu.xin16
Date: Tue Dec 03 2024 - 06:42:24 EST
From: xu xin <xu.xin16@xxxxxxxxxx>
In /proc/<pid>/ksm_stat, Add two extra ksm involvement items including
KSM_mergeable and KSM_merge_any. It helps administrators to
better know the system's KSM behavior at process level.
KSM_mergeable: yes/no
whether any VMAs of the process'mm are currently applicable to KSM.
KSM_merge_any: yes/no
whether the process'mm is added by prctl() into the candidate list
of KSM or not, and fully enabled at process level.
Changelog
=========
v3 -> v4:
1. Keep the name of ksm items consistent in /proc/pid/ksm_stat.
* KSM_mergeable -> ksm_mergeable
* KSM_merge_any -> ksm_merge_any
2. Hold the read lock of mmap while calling ksm_process_mergeable()

v2 -> v3:
Update the KSM_mergeable getting method: loop up if any vma is
mergeable to KSM.
https://lore.kernel.org/all/bc0e1cdd-2d9d-437c-8fc9-4df0e13c48c0@xxxxxxxxxx/
v1 -> v2:
replace the internal flag names with straightforward strings.
* MMF_VM_MERGEABLE -> KSM_mergeable
* MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY -> KSM_merge_any
