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