25 This option is best suited for non-NUMA systems with
26 flat address space. The FLATMEM is the most efficient
27 system in terms of performance and resource consumption
28 and it is the best option for smaller systems.

220 Memory fragmentation introduced by ballooning might reduce
221 significantly the number of 2MB contiguous memory blocks that can be
222 used within a guest, thus imposing performance penalties associated
223 with the reduced number of transparent huge pages that could be used
224 by the guest workload. Allowing the compaction & migration for memory
225 pages enlisted as being part of memory balloon devices avoids the

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

452 for clean pages that the kernel's pageframe replacement algorithm
453 (PFRA) would like to keep around, but can't since there isn't enough

459 filesystem wishes to access a page in a file on disk, it first
460 checks cleancache to see if it already contains it; if it does,

474 Frontswap is so named because it can be thought of as the opposite
475 of a "backing" store for a swap device. The data is stored into
476 "transcendent memory", memory that is not directly accessible or
477 addressable by the kernel and is of unknown and possibly
478 time-varying size. When space in transcendent memory is available,
479 a significant swap I/O reduction may be achieved. When none is
480 available, all frontswap calls are reduced to a single pointer-
481 compare-against-NULL resulting in a negligible performance hit
482 and swap data is stored as normal on the matching swap device.

545 A lightweight compressed cache for swap pages. It takes
546 pages that are in the process of being swapped out and attempts to
547 compress them into a dynamically allocated RAM-based memory pool.
548 This can result in a significant I/O reduction on swap device and,
549 in the case where decompressing from RAM is faster that swap device
550 reads, can also improve workload performance.
551
552 This is marked experimental because it is a new feature (as of
553 v3.11) that interacts heavily with memory reclaim. While these
554 interactions don't cause any known issues on simple memory setups,
555 they have not be fully explored on the large set of potential
