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

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

54 | For many other systems, this will be an alternative to | |
