355 | the excess and return it to the allocator. | |
356 | ||
357 | If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the | |
358 | system allocator, which can cause extra fragmentation, particularly | |

360 | ||
361 | If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for | |
362 | long-term mappings means that the space is wasted. | |
363 | ||
364 | Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option | |
365 | (/proc/sys/vm/nr_trim_pages) which specifies the minimum number of | |
366 | excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if | |
367 | no trimming is to occur. | |
368 | ||
369 | This option specifies the initial value of this option. The default | |
370 | of 1 says that all excess pages should be trimmed. | |

440 | help |
441 | Cleancache can be thought of as a page-granularity victim cache | |
442 | for clean pages that the kernel's pageframe replacement algorithm | |
443 | (PFRA) would like to keep around, but can't since there isn't enough | |
444 | memory. So when the PFRA "evicts" a page, it first attempts to use | |
140a1ef2 | 445 | cleancache code to put the data contained in that page into |
077b1f83 DM |
446 | "transcendent memory", memory that is not directly accessible or |
447 | addressable by the kernel and is of unknown and possibly | |
448 | time-varying size. And when a cleancache-enabled | |
449 | filesystem wishes to access a page in a file on disk, it first | |
450 | checks cleancache to see if it already contains it; if it does, | |
451 | the page is copied into the kernel and a disk access is avoided. | |
452 | When a transcendent memory driver is available (such as zcache or | |
453 | Xen transcendent memory), a significant I/O reduction | |
454 | may be achieved. When none is available, all cleancache calls | |
455 | are reduced to a single pointer-compare-against-NULL resulting | |
