19 | full_scans: how many times all mergeable areas have been | ||
20 | scanned. | ||
21 | |||
22 | pages_shared: how many shared pages are being used. | ||
23 | |||
24 | pages_sharing: how many more sites are sharing them i.e. how | ||
25 | much saved. | ||
26 | |||
27 | pages_to_scan: how many present pages to scan before ksmd goes | ||
28 | to sleep. | ||
29 | |||
30 | pages_unshared: how many pages unique but repeatedly checked | ||
31 | for merging. | ||
32 | |||
33 | pages_volatile: how many pages changing too fast to be placed | ||
34 | in a tree. | ||
35 | |||
36 | run: write 0 to disable ksm, read 0 while ksm is disabled. | ||
37 | write 1 to run ksm, read 1 while ksm is running. | ||
38 | write 2 to disable ksm and unmerge all its pages. | ||
39 | |||
40 | sleep_millisecs: how many milliseconds ksm should sleep between | ||
41 | scans. | ||

49 | Description: Control merging pages across different NUMA nodes. | ||
50 | |||
51 | When it is set to 0 only pages from the same node are merged, | ||
52 | otherwise pages from all nodes can be merged together (default). | ||
