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

493 This enables the Contiguous Memory Allocator which allows other
494 subsystems to allocate big physically-contiguous blocks of memory.
495 CMA reserves a region of memory and allows only movable pages to
496 be allocated from it. This way, the kernel can use the memory for
497 pagecache and when a subsystem requests for contiguous area, the
498 allocated pages are migrated away to serve the contiguous request.

547 A lightweight compressed cache for swap pages. It takes
548 pages that are in the process of being swapped out and attempts to
549 compress them into a dynamically allocated RAM-based memory pool.
550 This can result in a significant I/O reduction on swap device and,
551 in the case where decompressing from RAM is faster that swap device
552 reads, can also improve workload performance.
553
554 This is marked experimental because it is a new feature (as of

592 zsmalloc is a slab-based memory allocator designed to store

594 in order to reduce fragmentation. However, this results in a

603 By default, zsmalloc uses a copy-based object mapping method to

607 mapping rather than copying for object mapping.
