Subject: mm/ksm: unmerge and clear VM_MERGEABLE when setting PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE=0
Date: Sat, 22 Apr 2023 22:54:18 +0200
Patch series "mm/ksm: improve PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE=0 handling and cleanup
disabling KSM", v2.
(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.
This patch (of 3):
Let's unmerge any KSM pages when setting PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE=0, and clear
the VM_MERGEABLE flag from all VMAs -- just like KSM would. Of course,
only do that if we previously set PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE=1.
