[RFC,v2,04/19] mm: invoke madvise for all vmas in scan_get_next_rmap_item

Commit Message

Stefan Roesch Feb. 10, 2023, 9:50 p.m. UTC

If the new flag MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY has been set for a process, iterate
over all the vmas and enable ksm if possible. For the vmas that can be
ksm enabled this is only done once.
