The first patch in this series fixes the incorrect accounting of KSM counters such as ksm_merging_pages, ksm_rmap_items, and the global ksm_zero_pages during fork. The following patch add a selftest to verify the ksm_merging_pages counter was updated correctly during fork. Test Results ============ Without the first patch ----------------------- # [RUN] test_fork_ksm_merging_page_count not ok 10 ksm_merging_page in child: 32 With the first patch -------------------- # [RUN] test_fork_ksm_merging_page_count ok 10 ksm_merging_pages is not inherited after fork This patch (of 2): Currently, the KSM-related counters in `mm_struct`, such as `ksm_merging_pages`, `ksm_rmap_items`, and `ksm_zero_pages`, are inherited by the child process during fork. This results in inconsistent accounting. When a process uses KSM, identical pages are merged and an rmap item is created for each merged page. The `ksm_merging_pages` and `ksm_rmap_items` counters are updated accordingly. However, after a fork, these counters are copied to the child while the corresponding rmap items are not. As a result, when the child later triggers an unmerge, there are no rmap items present in the child, so the counters remain stale, leading to incorrect accounting. A similar issue exists with `ksm_zero_pages`, which maintains both a global counter and a per-process counter. During fork, the per-process counter is inherited by the child, but the global counter is not incremented. Since the child also references zero pages, the global counter should be updated as well. Otherwise, during zero-page unmerge, both the global and per-process counters are decremented, causing the global counter to become inconsistent. To fix this, ksm_merging_pages and ksm_rmap_items are reset to 0 during fork, and the global ksm_zero_pages counter is updated with the per-process ksm_zero_pages value inherited by the child. This ensures that KSM statistics remain accurate and reflect the activity of each process correctly.

The size allocated on the ring buffer was actually a bit too big: size = sizeof(*entry) + cnt; But cnt includes the 'id' and the buffer data, so adding cnt to the size of *entry actually allocates too much on the ring buffer. Change the allocation to: size = struct_size(entry, buf, cnt - sizeof(entry->id)); and the memcpy() to unsafe_memcpy() with an added justification.
