41  * A few notes about the KSM scanning process,
42  * to make it easier to understand the data structures below:
43  *
44  * In order to reduce excessive scanning, KSM sorts the memory pages by their
45  * contents into a data structure that holds pointers to the pages' locations.
46  *
47  * Since the contents of the pages may change at any moment, KSM cannot just
48  * insert the pages into a normal sorted tree and expect it to find anything.
49  * Therefore KSM uses two data structures - the stable and the unstable tree.
50  *
51  * The stable tree holds pointers to all the merged pages (ksm pages), sorted
52  * by their contents.  Because each such page is write-protected, searching on
53  * this tree is fully assured to be working (except when pages are unmapped),
54  * and therefore this tree is called the stable tree.
55  *
56  * In addition to the stable tree, KSM uses a second data structure called the
57  * unstable tree: this tree holds pointers to pages which have been found to
58  * be "unchanged for a period of time".  The unstable tree sorts these pages
59  * by their contents, but since they are not write-protected, KSM cannot rely
60  * upon the unstable tree to work correctly - the unstable tree is liable to
61  * be corrupted as its contents are modified, and so it is called unstable.
62  *
63  * KSM solves this problem by several techniques:
64  *
65  * 1) The unstable tree is flushed every time KSM completes scanning all
66  *    memory areas, and then the tree is rebuilt again from the beginning.
67  * 2) KSM will only insert into the unstable tree, pages whose hash value
68  *    has not changed since the previous scan of all memory areas.
69  * 3) The unstable tree is a RedBlack Tree - so its balancing is based on the
70  *    colors of the nodes and not on their contents, assuring that even when
71  *    the tree gets "corrupted" it won't get out of balance, so scanning time
72  *    remains the same (also, searching and inserting nodes in an rbtree uses
73  *    the same algorithm, so we have no overhead when we flush and rebuild).
74  * 4) KSM never flushes the stable tree, which means that even if it were to
75  *    take 10 attempts to find a page in the unstable tree, once it is found,
76  *    it is secured in the stable tree.  (When we scan a new page, we first
77  *    compare it against the stable tree, and then against the unstable tree.)
