230 Memory fragmentation introduced by ballooning might reduce

384 more than it requires. To deal with this, mmap() is able to trim off
385 the excess and return it to the allocator.
386
387 If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the
388 system allocator, which can cause extra fragmentation, particularly
389 if there are a lot of transient processes.
390
391 If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for
392 long-term mappings means that the space is wasted.
393
394 Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option
395 (/proc/sys/vm/nr_trim_pages) which specifies the minimum number of
396 excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if
397 no trimming is to occur.

468 for clean pages that the kernel's pageframe replacement algorithm
469 (PFRA) would like to keep around, but can't since there isn't enough
470 memory. So when the PFRA "evicts" a page, it first attempts to use
140a1ef2 471 cleancache code to put the data contained in that page into

472 "transcendent memory", memory that is not directly accessible or
473 addressable by the kernel and is of unknown and possibly
474 time-varying size. And when a cleancache-enabled
475 filesystem wishes to access a page in a file on disk, it first
476 checks cleancache to see if it already contains it; if it does,
477 the page is copied into the kernel and a disk access is avoided.
478 When a transcendent memory driver is available (such as zcache or
479 Xen transcendent memory), a significant I/O reduction
480 may be achieved. When none is available, all cleancache calls
481 are reduced to a single pointer-compare-against-NULL resulting
482 in a negligible performance hit.

493 addressable by the kernel and is of unknown and possibly

568 A lightweight compressed cache for swap pages. It takes
569 pages that are in the process of being swapped out and attempts to
570 compress them into a dynamically allocated RAM-based memory pool.
571 This can result in a significant I/O reduction on swap device and,
572 in the case where decompressing from RAM is faster that swap device
573 reads, can also improve workload performance.
574
575 This is marked experimental because it is a new feature (as of
576 v3.11) that interacts heavily with memory reclaim. While these
577 interactions don't cause any known issues on simple memory setups,
578 they have not be fully explored on the large set of potential
579 configurations and workloads that exist.
