Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksm: use range-walk function to jump over holes in scan_get_next_rmap_item
Currently, scan_get_next_rmap_item() walks every page address in a VMA to
locate mergeable pages. This becomes highly inefficient when scanning
large virtual memory areas that contain mostly unmapped regions, causing
ksmd to use large amount of cpu without deduplicating much pages.
This patch replaces the per-address lookup with a range walk using
walk…
