[PATCH mm-stable v2 0/3] mm/ksm: improve PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE=0 handling and cleanup disabling KSM

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

 



This is a follow-up to [1]:
	[PATCH v9 0/3] mm: process/cgroup ksm support

which is now in mm-stable. Ideally we'd get at least patch #1 into the
same kernel release as [1], so the semantics of setting
PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE=0 are unchanged between kernel versions.

(1) Make PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE=0 unmerge pages like setting MADV_UNMERGEABLE
does, (2) add a selftest for it and (3) factor out disabling of KSM from
s390/gmap code.

v1 -> v2:
- "mm/ksm: unmerge and clear VM_MERGEABLE when setting
   PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE=0"
 -> Cleanup one if/else
 -> Add doc for ksm_disable_merge_any()
- Added ACKs
