Subject: [PATCH linux-next v3 1/6] memcg: add per-memcg ksm_rmap_items stat
Date: Sun, 21 Sep 2025 23:08:54 +0800 (CST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250921230854496C6rkj7YZAYi39dNV3t6Fp@zte.com.cn> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250921230726978agBBWNsPLi2hCp9Sxed1Y@zte.com.cn>
From: xu xin <xu.xin16@zte.com.cn>
With the enablement of container-level KSM (e.g., via prctl), there is
a growing demand for container-level observability of KSM behavior.
The value of "ksm_rmap_items" indicates the total allocated ksm
rmap_items of this memcg, which could be used to determine how
unbeneficial the ksm-policy (like madvise), they are using brings,
since the bigger the ratio of ksm_rmap_items over ksm_merging_pages,
the more unbeneficial the ksm bring.
Add the counter in the existing memory.stat without adding a new interface.
We traverse all processes of a memcg and summing the processes'
ksm_rmap_items counters instead of adding enum item in memcg_stat_item
or node_stat_item and updating the corresponding enum counter when
ksmd manipulate pages.
Finally, we can look up ksm_rmap_items of per-memcg simply by:
cat /sys/fs/cgroup/memory.stat | grep ksm_rmap_items
