Well, I don't think you two are talking about the same thing. Andi was
focusing on sparsity. Your example seems to be about sharing, i.e.,
ihgh mapcount. Of course both can happen at the same time, as I tested
here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/YHFuL%2FDdtiml4biw@google.com/#t
I'm skeptical that shared memory used by databases is that sparse,
i.e., one page per PTE table, because the extremely low locality would
heavily penalize their performance. But my knowledge in databases is
close to zero. So feel free to enlighten me or just ignore what I
said.
