364 | The NOMMU mmap() frequently needs to allocate large contiguous chunks | |
365 | of memory on which to store mappings, but it can only ask the system | |
366 | allocator for chunks in 2^N*PAGE_SIZE amounts - which is frequently | |
367 | more than it requires. To deal with this, mmap() is able to trim off | |
368 | the excess and return it to the allocator. | |
369 | ||
370 | If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the | |
371 | system allocator, which can cause extra fragmentation, particularly | |
372 | if there are a lot of transient processes. | |
373 | ||
374 | If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for | |
375 | long-term mappings means that the space is wasted. | |
376 | ||
377 | Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option | |
378 | (/proc/sys/vm/nr_trim_pages) which specifies the minimum number of | |
379 | excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if | |
380 | no trimming is to occur. | |
381 | ||
382 | This option specifies the initial value of this option. The default | |
383 | of 1 says that all excess pages should be trimmed. | |

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