From: Hugh Dickins Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2009 00:01:53 +0000 (-0700) Subject: ksm: define MADV_MERGEABLE and MADV_UNMERGEABLE X-Git-Tag: v2.6.32-rc1~560 X-Git-Url: http://ftp.safe.ca/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d19f352484467a5e518639ddff0554669c10ffab;p=safe%2Fjmp%2Flinux-2.6 ksm: define MADV_MERGEABLE and MADV_UNMERGEABLE The out-of-tree KSM used ioctls on fds cloned from /dev/ksm to register a memory area for merging: we prefer now to use an madvise(2) interface. This patch just defines MADV_MERGEABLE (to tell KSM it may merge pages in this area found identical to pages in other mergeable areas) and MADV_UNMERGEABLE (to undo that). Most architectures use asm-generic, but alpha, mips, parisc, xtensa need their own definitions: included here for mmotm convenience, but we'll probably want to split this and feed pieces to arch maintainers. Based upon earlier patches by Chris Wright and Izik Eidus.
