[RFC PATCH 1/4] ksm: propose a auto-run mode of ksm

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: xu xin <xu.xin16@xxxxxxxxxx>

Add a new running state auto-mode to ksm. This is to pave the way
for subsequent real optimization features.

Use it by: echo 8 > /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run
