Message-Id: <1247851850-4298-4-git-send-email-ieidus@redhat.com> Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2009 20:30:43 +0300 From: Izik Eidus <ieidus@...hat.com> To: akpm@...ux-foundation.org Cc: hugh.dickins@...cali.co.uk, aarcange@...hat.com, chrisw@...hat.com, avi@...hat.com, riel@...hat.com, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, linux-mm@...ck.org, nickpiggin@...oo.com.au, ieidus@...hat.com, Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@...il.com>, Richard Henderson <rth@...ddle.net>, Ivan Kokshaysky <ink@...assic.park.msu.ru>, Ralf Baechle <ralf@...ux-mips.org>, Kyle McMartin <kyle@...artin.ca>, Helge Deller <deller@....de>, Chris Zankel <chris@...kel.net> Subject: [PATCH 03/10] ksm: define MADV_MERGEABLE and MADV_UNMERGEABLE From: Hugh Dickins <hugh.dickins@...cali.co.uk> 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.
