NAME ksm - kernel samepage merging (KSM) information SYNOPSIS ksm [-v] [[-p] address ...] DESCRIPTION This command displays information about all KSM pages currently in use. For each KSM page, the display includes its stable_node address, its page struct address, its physical address, the TGID/PID for each task that is using the page, the number of mappings in the task's address space for the page, and the mm_struct address of the task. If pid is '-', the task has exited and the ksm page has not been removed. -v also dump each virtual address in a PID's virtual address space that maps the KSM page. address restricts the output to the KSM data associated with a stable_node address, a page's physical address, or a page pointer. -p specifies that the address argument is a physical address, for architectures that require it.
