This option allows you to change some of the ways that

Linux manages its memory internally. Most users will

memory hotplug may have different options here.

memory systems, over FLATMEM. These systems have holes

in their physical address spaces, and this option provides

more efficient handling of these holes. However, the vast

the excess and return it to the allocator.

If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the

|
system allocator, which can cause extra fragmentation, particularly

if there are a lot of transient processes.
|
|
|
|
If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for
|
|
long-term mappings means that the space is wasted.
|
|
|
|
Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option
|
|
(/proc/sys/vm/nr_trim_pages) which specifies the minimum number of
|
|
excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if
|

no trimming is to occur.

This option specifies the initial value of this option. The default

memory. So when the PFRA "evicts" a page, it first attempts to use

cleancache code to put the data contained in that page into

"transcendent memory", memory that is not directly accessible or

|
addressable by the kernel and is of unknown and possibly

filesystem wishes to access a page in a file on disk, it first

checks cleancache to see if it already contains it; if it does,

the page is copied into the kernel and a disk access is avoided.

When a transcendent memory driver is available (such as zcache or

Xen transcendent memory), a significant I/O reduction

This enables the Contiguous Memory Allocator which allows other
|
|
subsystems to allocate big physically-contiguous blocks of memory.
|
|
CMA reserves a region of memory and allows only movable pages to
|
|
be allocated from it. This way, the kernel can use the memory for
|
|
pagecache and when a subsystem requests for contiguous area, the
|
|
allocated pages are migrated away to serve the contiguous request.

A lightweight compressed cache for swap pages. It takes

pages that are in the process of being swapped out and attempts to

compress them into a dynamically allocated RAM-based memory pool.

This can result in a significant I/O reduction on swap device and,

in the case where decompressing from RAM is faster that swap device

reads, can also improve workload performance.

This is marked experimental because it is a new feature (as of

v3.11) that interacts heavily with memory reclaim. While these

they have not be fully explored on the large set of potential

zsmalloc is a slab-based memory allocator designed to store
|
|
compressed RAM pages. zsmalloc uses virtual memory mapping
|
|
in order to reduce fragmentation. However, this results in a
|

non-standard allocator interface where a handle, not a pointer, is
|
|
returned by an alloc(). This handle must be mapped in order to

access the allocated space.

By default, zsmalloc uses a copy-based object mapping method to
|

access allocations that span two pages. However, if a particular

architecture (ex, ARM) performs VM mapping faster than copying,

|
then you should select this. This causes zsmalloc to use page table
|
|
mapping rather than copying for object mapping.

Ordinarily all struct pages are initialised during early boot in a

single thread. On very large machines this can take a considerable

amount of time. If this option is set, large machines will bring up

a subset of memmap at boot and then initialise the rest in parallel

by starting one-off "pgdatinitX" kernel thread for each node X. This

has a potential performance impact on processes running early in the

lifetime of the system until these kthreads finish the

initialisation.
