372 more than it requires. To deal with this, mmap() is able to trim off
373 the excess and return it to the allocator.
374
375 If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the
376 system allocator, which can cause extra fragmentation, particularly
377 if there are a lot of transient processes.
378
379 If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for

381
382 Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option

384 excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if
385 no trimming is to occur.

477 help
478 Frontswap is so named because it can be thought of as the opposite
479 of a "backing" store for a swap device. The data is stored into
480 "transcendent memory", memory that is not directly accessible or
481 addressable by the kernel and is of unknown and possibly
482 time-varying size. When space in transcendent memory is available,
483 a significant swap I/O reduction may be achieved. When none is
484 available, all frontswap calls are reduced to a single pointer-
485 compare-against-NULL resulting in a negligible performance hit
486 and swap data is stored as normal on the matching swap device.
487

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