Let's extend mmap_and_merge_range() to test if anything in the current process was merged. range_maps_duplicates() is too unreliable for that use case, so instead look at KSM stats. Trigger a complete unmerge first, to cleanup the stable tree and stabilize accounting of merged pages. Note that we're using /proc/self/ksm_merging_pages instead of /proc/self/ksm_stat, because that one is available in more existing kernels. If /proc/self/ksm_merging_pages can't be opened, we can't perform any checks and simply skip them. We have to special-case the shared zeropage for now. But the only user -- test_unmerge_zero_pages() -- performs its own merge checks.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
