27 system in terms of performance and resource consumption
28 and it is the best option for smaller systems.

214 Memory fragmentation introduced by ballooning might reduce

348 The NOMMU mmap() frequently needs to allocate large contiguous chunks
349 of memory on which to store mappings, but it can only ask the system
350 allocator for chunks in 2^N*PAGE_SIZE amounts - which is frequently
351 more than it requires. To deal with this, mmap() is able to trim off
352 the excess and return it to the allocator.
353
354 If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the
355 system allocator, which can cause extra fragmentation, particularly
356 if there are a lot of transient processes.
357
358 If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for
359 long-term mappings means that the space is wasted.
360
361 Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option
362 (/proc/sys/vm/nr_trim_pages) which specifies the minimum number of
363 excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if
364 no trimming is to occur.
365
366 This option specifies the initial value of this option. The default

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

528 A lightweight compressed cache for swap pages. It takes
529 pages that are in the process of being swapped out and attempts to
530 compress them into a dynamically allocated RAM-based memory pool.
531 This can result in a significant I/O reduction on swap device and,
532 in the case where decompressing from RAM is faster that swap device
533 reads, can also improve workload performance.
534
535 This is marked experimental because it is a new feature (as of
536 v3.11) that interacts heavily with memory reclaim. While these
537 interactions don't cause any known issues on simple memory setups,
538 they have not be fully explored on the large set of potential

569 zsmalloc is a slab-based memory allocator designed to store
570 compressed RAM pages. zsmalloc uses virtual memory mapping
571 in order to reduce fragmentation. However, this results in a
572 non-standard allocator interface where a handle, not a pointer, is
573 returned by an alloc(). This handle must be mapped in order to
574 access the allocated space.

580 By default, zsmalloc uses a copy-based object mapping method to
581 access allocations that span two pages. However, if a particular
582 architecture (ex, ARM) performs VM mapping faster than copying,
583 then you should select this. This causes zsmalloc to use page table
584 mapping rather than copying for object mapping.
