19 | This option allows you to change some of the ways that | |
20 | Linux manages its memory internally. Most users will | |
21 | only have one option here: FLATMEM. This is normal | |
22 | and a correct option. | |
23 | ||
d41dee36 AW |
24 | Some users of more advanced features like NUMA and |
25 | memory hotplug may have different options here. | |
18f65332 | 26 | DISCONTIGMEM is a more mature, better tested system, |
d41dee36 AW |
27 | but is incompatible with memory hotplug and may suffer |
28 | decreased performance over SPARSEMEM. If unsure between | |
29 | "Sparse Memory" and "Discontiguous Memory", choose | |
30 | "Discontiguous Memory". | |

32 | If unsure, choose this option (Flat Memory) over any other. | |

38 | This option provides enhanced support for discontiguous |
39 | memory systems, over FLATMEM. These systems have holes | |
40 | in their physical address spaces, and this option provides | |
41 | more efficient handling of these holes. However, the vast | |
42 | majority of hardware has quite flat address spaces, and | |
ad3d0a38 | 43 | can have degraded performance from the extra overhead that |
785dcd44 DH |
44 | this option imposes. |
45 | ||
46 | Many NUMA configurations will have this as the only option. | |

359 | the excess and return it to the allocator. | |
360 | ||
361 | If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the | |
362 | system allocator, which can cause extra fragmentation, particularly | |

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

373 | This option specifies the initial value of this option. The default | |
374 | of 1 says that all excess pages should be trimmed. | |

446 | Cleancache can be thought of as a page-granularity victim cache | |
447 | for clean pages that the kernel's pageframe replacement algorithm | |
448 | (PFRA) would like to keep around, but can't since there isn't enough | |
449 | memory. So when the PFRA "evicts" a page, it first attempts to use | |
140a1ef2 | 450 | cleancache code to put the data contained in that page into |
077b1f83 DM |
451 | "transcendent memory", memory that is not directly accessible or |
452 | addressable by the kernel and is of unknown and possibly | |
453 | time-varying size. And when a cleancache-enabled | |
454 | filesystem wishes to access a page in a file on disk, it first | |
455 | checks cleancache to see if it already contains it; if it does, | |
456 | the page is copied into the kernel and a disk access is avoided. | |
