Hello. I am looking for help in trying to understand the dynamics of intra-VM TPS. Specifically, I want to see if and how I can determine if a specific page has been deduplicated via TPS. I am running a Ubuntu VM in ESXi 6.7.0 in VMWare. I disabled large pages (Mem.AllocGuestLargePage = 0). I have a process that reads 65KB from a file twice and stores the data in 2 different buffers in memory. I am trying to figure out if there is a way I can confirm if and when any of the pages associated with that data have been merged. Thank you in advance for your help.
These may help:
