From: "Alex Shi (tencent)" <alexs@xxxxxxxxxx> This is the first part of page to folio transfer on KSM. Since only single page could be stored in KSM, we could safely transfer stable tree pages to folios. This patchset could reduce ksm.o 57kbytes from 2541776 bytes on latest akpm/mm-stable branch with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM enabled. It pass the KSM testing in LTP and kernel selftest.
Just a nit (no need to address for this patch set): "transfer page to folio" sounds very misleading to me. I'm not a native speaker, but I'd have called this patch set
"mm/ksm: convert some KSM code to use folios" It's rather code conversion/transformation, not a transfer. But again, I'm not a native speaker ... -- Cheers, David / dhildenb
