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