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.

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

453 addressable by the kernel and is of unknown and possibly
454 time-varying size. And when a cleancache-enabled
455 filesystem wishes to access a page in a file on disk, it first
456 checks cleancache to see if it already contains it; if it does,
457 the page is copied into the kernel and a disk access is avoided.
458 When a transcendent memory driver is available (such as zcache or
459 Xen transcendent memory), a significant I/O reduction
460 may be achieved. When none is available, all cleancache calls

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

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