[PATCH RFC 3/5] mm/ksm: introduce ksm_madvise_unmerge() helper

flat view
STALE2706d

From: Oleksandr Natalenko <hidden>
Date: 2019-05-16 09:42:48
Also in: linux-mm, lkml
Subsystem: memory management, memory management - ksm (kernel samepage merging), the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, David Hildenbrand, Linus Torvalds

Move MADV_UNMERGEABLE part of ksm_madvise() into a dedicated helper
since it will be further used for unmerging VMAs forcibly.

This does not bring any functional changes.
