391 more than it requires. To deal with this, mmap() is able to trim off

394 If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the

397
398 If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for
399 long-term mappings means that the space is wasted.
400
401 Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option

403 excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if

474 filesystem wishes to access a page in a file on disk, it first
475 checks cleancache to see if it already contains it; if it does,
476 the page is copied into the kernel and a disk access is avoided.
477 When a transcendent memory driver is available (such as zcache or
478 Xen transcendent memory), a significant I/O reduction
479 may be achieved. When none is available, all cleancache calls

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

508 This enables the Contiguous Memory Allocator which allows other
509 subsystems to allocate big physically-contiguous blocks of memory.
510 CMA reserves a region of memory and allows only movable pages to

512 pagecache and when a subsystem requests for contiguous area, the
513 allocated pages are migrated away to serve the contiguous request.

562 A lightweight compressed cache for swap pages. It takes
563 pages that are in the process of being swapped out and attempts to
564 compress them into a dynamically allocated RAM-based memory pool.
565 This can result in a significant I/O reduction on swap device and,
566 in the case where decompressing from RAM is faster that swap device
567 reads, can also improve workload performance.
568
569 This is marked experimental because it is a new feature (as of
570 v3.11) that interacts heavily with memory reclaim. While these
