verified on :
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager Version: 3.5.6.1-0.1.el6ev
vdsm-4.16.28-1.el7ev.x86_64
mom-0.4.1-5.el7ev.noarch

verification steps: 
1. create a host with 256GB :
   - have a nested environment in order to crate a VM that will be  a host in your setup  
   - in the nested environment, create a new cluster policy which the memory filter is disabled (the right up corner -> configure -> cluster policy)
   - go to clusters tab -> choose your cluster -> in the cluster policy -> choose the cluster policy that you created  
   - disable memory overcommited on the nested host - add the following line in the file /etc/sysctl.conf  :   vm.overcommit_memory = 1
   - power of the vm (nested host) 
   - edit the vm ( your nested host) - > set the memory to 262144
   - start the vm 
2. Triggered KSM - 
3. see that the ksmd process is not taking  a high amount of CPU  
4.  run != 0 and the millisec always bigger than 10

Setting the requires_doc_text flag to '-' and cancelling need_info as did not get a response in time.

Kind regards,
