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 | ||
d41dee36 AW |
21 | Some users of more advanced features like NUMA and |
22 | memory hotplug may have different options here. | |
18f65332 | 23 | DISCONTIGMEM is a more mature, better tested system, |
d41dee36 AW |
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". | |

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 | |
ad3d0a38 | 40 | can have degraded performance from the extra overhead that |
785dcd44 DH |
41 | this option imposes. |
42 | ||
43 | Many NUMA configurations will have this as the only option. | |

380 | The NOMMU mmap() frequently needs to allocate large contiguous chunks | |
381 | of memory on which to store mappings, but it can only ask the system | |
382 | allocator for chunks in 2^N*PAGE_SIZE amounts - which is frequently | |
383 | more than it requires. To deal with this, mmap() is able to trim off | |
384 | the excess and return it to the allocator. | |
385 | ||
386 | If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the | |
387 | system allocator, which can cause extra fragmentation, particularly | |
388 | if there are a lot of transient processes. | |
389 | ||
390 | If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for | |
391 | long-term mappings means that the space is wasted. | |
392 | ||
393 | Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option | |
394 | (/proc/sys/vm/nr_trim_pages) which specifies the minimum number of | |
395 | excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if | |
396 | no trimming is to occur. | |

398 | This option specifies the initial value of this option. The default | |

409 | Transparent Hugepages allows the kernel to use huge pages and | |
410 | huge tlb transparently to the applications whenever possible. | |
411 | This feature can improve computing performance to certain | |
412 | applications by speeding up page faults during memory | |
413 | allocation, by reducing the number of tlb misses and by speeding | |
414 | up the pagetable walking. | |
415 | ||
416 | If memory constrained on embedded, you may want to say N. | |

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