285 The NOMMU mmap() frequently needs to allocate large contiguous chunks
286 of memory on which to store mappings, but it can only ask the system
287 allocator for chunks in 2^N*PAGE_SIZE amounts - which is frequently
288 more than it requires. To deal with this, mmap() is able to trim off
289 the excess and return it to the allocator.
290
291 If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the
292 system allocator, which can cause extra fragmentation, particularly
293 if there are a lot of transient processes.
294
295 If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for
296 long-term mappings means that the space is wasted.
297
298 Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option
299 (/proc/sys/vm/nr_trim_pages) which specifies the minimum number of
300 excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if
301 no trimming is to occur.
302
303 This option specifies the initial value of this option. The default
304 of 1 says that all excess pages should be trimmed.

357 help
358 Cleancache can be thought of as a page-granularity victim cache
359 for clean pages that the kernel's pageframe replacement algorithm
360 (PFRA) would like to keep around, but can't since there isn't enough
361 memory. So when the PFRA "evicts" a page, it first attempts to use
362 cleancacne code to put the data contained in that page into
363 "transcendent memory", memory that is not directly accessible or
364 addressable by the kernel and is of unknown and possibly
365 time-varying size. And when a cleancache-enabled
366 filesystem wishes to access a page in a file on disk, it first
367 checks cleancache to see if it already contains it; if it does,
368 the page is copied into the kernel and a disk access is avoided.
369 When a transcendent memory driver is available (such as zcache or
370 Xen transcendent memory), a significant I/O reduction
371 may be achieved. When none is available, all cleancache calls
372 are reduced to a single pointer-compare-against-NULL resulting
373 in a negligible performance hit.
