The Page Cache Deduplication Mechanism in Virtualized Systems

초록

영어

The memory deduplication mechanism has been used in virtualized environment. The Linux kernel, however, was implemented as anonymous pages with the same content across inter-virtual machines. To resolve this problem, previous work was considered in the page cache inside the guest. So, we propose a KVM-based deduplication mechanism which is used on the host page cache. It does not require a modification of the guest kernel. Our implementation detects more sharing opportunities than the KSM (by factor of 2x), and its CPU overhead is less than 4%. Also, it reduces the page swap in/out by 40% compared to default VMs in the worst case. Thus, the page cache deduplication is required in virtual environments.
