39 * A few notes about the KSM scanning process,
40 * to make it easier to understand the data structures below:
42 * In order to reduce excessive scanning, KSM sorts the memory pages by their
43 * contents into a data structure that holds pointers to the pages' locations.
45 * Since the contents of the pages may change at any moment, KSM cannot just
46 * insert the pages into a normal sorted tree and expect it to find anything.
47 * Therefore KSM uses two data structures - the stable and the unstable tree.
49 * The stable tree holds pointers to all the merged pages (ksm pages), sorted
50 * by their contents. Because each such page is write-protected, searching on
51 * this tree is fully assured to be working (except when pages are unmapped),
52 * and therefore this tree is called the stable tree.
54 * In addition to the stable tree, KSM uses a second data structure called the
55 * unstable tree: this tree holds pointers to pages which have been found to
56 * be "unchanged for a period of time". The unstable tree sorts these pages
57 * by their contents, but since they are not write-protected, KSM cannot rely
58 * upon the unstable tree to work correctly - the unstable tree is liable to
59 * be corrupted as its contents are modified, and so it is called unstable.
61 * KSM solves this problem by several techniques:
63 * 1) The unstable tree is flushed every time KSM completes scanning all
64 * memory areas, and then the tree is rebuilt again from the beginning.
65 * 2) KSM will only insert into the unstable tree, pages whose hash value
66 * has not changed since the previous scan of all memory areas.
67 * 3) The unstable tree is a RedBlack Tree - so its balancing is based on the
68 * colors of the nodes and not on their contents, assuring that even when
69 * the tree gets "corrupted" it won't get out of balance, so scanning time
70 * remains the same (also, searching and inserting nodes in an rbtree uses
71 * the same algorithm, so we have no overhead when we flush and rebuild).
72 * 4) KSM never flushes the stable tree, which means that even if it were to
73 * take 10 attempts to find a page in the unstable tree, once it is found,
74 * it is secured in the stable tree. (When we scan a new page, we first
75 * compare it against the stable tree, and then against the unstable tree.)

323 * VM_FAULT_SIGBUS could occur if we race with truncation of the
324 * backing file, which also invalidates anonymous pages: that's
325 * okay, that truncation will have unmapped the PageKsm for us.
327 * VM_FAULT_OOM: at the time of writing (late July 2009), setting
328 * aside mem_cgroup limits, VM_FAULT_OOM would only be set if the

333 * with VM_FAULT_OOM even if the current task is not TIF_MEMDIE; and
334 * even ksmd can fail in this way - though it's usually breaking ksm
335 * just to undo a merge it made a moment before, so unlikely to oom.
337 * That's a pity: we might therefore have more kernel pages allocated
338 * than we're counting as nodes in the stable tree; but ksm_do_scan
