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

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

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

591 zsmalloc is a slab-based memory allocator designed to store
592 compressed RAM pages. zsmalloc uses virtual memory mapping
593 in order to reduce fragmentation. However, this results in a

595 returned by an alloc(). This handle must be mapped in order to

602 By default, zsmalloc uses a copy-based object mapping method to
603 access allocations that span two pages. However, if a particular
604 architecture (ex, ARM) performs VM mapping faster than copying,
605 then you should select this. This causes zsmalloc to use page table
606 mapping rather than copying for object mapping.
