Subject: [PATCH mm-unstable v1 1/3] mm/ksm: export ksm_is_running() to check KSM merge state
Date: Tue,  9 Jun 2026 05:46:13 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260609114619.144416-2-npache@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260609114619.144416-1-npache@redhat.com>

Add ksm_is_running() which returns true when KSM is actively merging
(ksm_run & KSM_RUN_MERGE).

This will be used by try_to_map_unused_to_zeropage() to skip zero-page
remapping in VM_MERGEABLE VMAs when KSM is active.
