[merged mm-stable] ksm-consider-ksm-placed-zeropages-when-calculating-ksm-profit.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: ksm: consider KSM-placed zeropages when calculating KSM profit
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     ksm-consider-ksm-placed-zeropages-when-calculating-ksm-profit.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: ksm: consider KSM-placed zeropages when calculating KSM profit
Date: Tue, 13 Jun 2023 11:09:42 +0800

When use_zero_pages is enabled, the calculation of ksm profit is not
correct because ksm zero pages is not counted in.  So update the
calculation of KSM profit including the documentation.

 1) How to determine whether KSM save memory or consume memory in system-wide

 2) The KSM profit inner a single process can be similarly obtained by the

-	process_profit =~ ksm_merging_pages * sizeof(page) -
