kpage is actually what going to be KsmPage -> the shared page...

Right now this pages are not swappable..., after ksm will be merged we will make this pages swappable as well...

sure.

If so, please
- show the amount of kpage
- allow users to set limit for usage of kpages. or preserve kpages at boot or
by user's command.
kpage actually save memory..., and limiting the number of them, would make you limit the number of shared pages...


Ah, I'm working for memory control cgroup. And *KSM* will be out of control.
It's ok to make the default limit value as INFINITY. but please add knobs.
Sure, when i will post V2 i will take care for this issue (i will do it after i get little bit more review for ksm.c.... :-))
