From 473b0ce4d13ee77925a7062e25dea0d16a91f654 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hugh Dickins Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2009 17:02:11 -0700 Subject: ksm: pages_unshared and pages_volatile The pages_shared and pages_sharing counts give a good picture of how successful KSM is at sharing; but no clue to how much wasted work it's doing to get there. Add pages_unshared (count of unique pages waiting in the unstable tree, hoping to find a mate) and pages_volatile. pages_volatile is harder to define. It includes those pages changing too fast to get into the unstable tree, but also whatever other edge conditions prevent a page getting into the trees: a high value may deserve investigation. Don't try to calculate it from the various conditions: it's the total of rmap_items less those accounted for. Also show full_scans: the number of completed scans of everything registered in the mm list. The locking for all these counts is simply ksm_thread_mutex.
