Subject: mm/ksm: add sysfs knobs for advisor
Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2023 10:27:27 -0800
This adds four new knobs for the KSM advisor to influence its behaviour.
The knobs are:
- advisor_mode:
none: no advisor (default)
scan-time: scan time advisor
- advisor_max_cpu: 70 (default, cpu usage percent)
- advisor_min_pages_to_scan: 500 (default)
- advisor_max_pages_to_scan: 30000 (default)
- advisor_target_scan_time: 200 (default in seconds)
The new values will take effect on the next scan round.
