Ubuntu 20.04 KSM 无法正常工作

我想在 Ubuntu 20.04 中使用 KSM 来实现 qemu VM 之间的内存共享。我的安装ksmtuned如下：

$ sudo apt install ksmtuned

但是我发现KSM并没有起作用，systemctl如下图所示：

$ systemctl status ksm.service
● ksm.service - Kernel Samepage Merging
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/ksm.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

    Process: 661 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/ksmctl start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

中的值/sys/kernel/mm/ksm包括：

$ grep . /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/*
/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/full_scans:0
/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/max_page_sharing:256
/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/merge_across_nodes:1
/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_shared:0

/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/stable_node_dups:0
/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/use_zero_pages:0

我尝试使用两者ksmctl start来echo 1 > /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run启动 KSM，但失败了。

谁能告诉我为什么或如何在 Ubuntu 20.04 中正确使用 KSM？

答案1

最终，我找到了答案。

根据Redhat 的 KSM 文档其中，KSM 由服务管理ksmtuned，其配置文件为/etc/ksmtuned.conf。您需要更改此文件中的值才能激活 KSM，具体为KSM_THRES_COEF和KSM_THRES_CONST。
