19 This option allows you to change some of the ways that
20 Linux manages its memory internally. Most users will
21 only have one option here: FLATMEM. This is normal
22 and a correct option.
23
Andy Whitcroftd41dee32005-06-23 00:07:54 -070024 Some users of more advanced features like NUMA and
25 memory hotplug may have different options here.
Geert Uytterhoeven18f65332013-09-15 12:01:33 +020026 DISCONTIGMEM is a more mature, better tested system,
Andy Whitcroftd41dee32005-06-23 00:07:54 -070027 but is incompatible with memory hotplug and may suffer
28 decreased performance over SPARSEMEM. If unsure between
29 "Sparse Memory" and "Discontiguous Memory", choose
30 "Discontiguous Memory".
31
32 If unsure, choose this option (Flat Memory) over any other.

Dave Hansen785dcd42005-06-23 00:07:50 -070038 This option provides enhanced support for discontiguous

41 more efficient handling of these holes. However, the vast

Philipp Marekad3d0a32007-10-20 02:46:58 +020043 can have degraded performance from the extra overhead that

57 For many other systems, this will be an alternative to
Dave Hansenf3519f92005-09-16 19:27:54 -070058 "Discontiguous Memory". This option provides some potential
Andy Whitcroftd41dee32005-06-23 00:07:54 -070059 performance benefits, along with decreased code complexity,
60 but it is newer, and more experimental.

218 Memory fragmentation introduced by ballooning might reduce
219 significantly the number of 2MB contiguous memory blocks that can be
220 used within a guest, thus imposing performance penalties associated
221 with the reduced number of transparent huge pages that could be used
222 by the guest workload. Allowing the compaction & migration for memory
223 pages enlisted as being part of memory balloon devices avoids the
224 scenario aforementioned and helps improving memory defragmentation.

351 help
352 The NOMMU mmap() frequently needs to allocate large contiguous chunks
353 of memory on which to store mappings, but it can only ask the system
354 allocator for chunks in 2^N*PAGE_SIZE amounts - which is frequently
355 more than it requires. To deal with this, mmap() is able to trim off
356 the excess and return it to the allocator.
357
358 If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the
359 system allocator, which can cause extra fragmentation, particularly
360 if there are a lot of transient processes.
361
362 If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for
363 long-term mappings means that the space is wasted.
364
365 Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option
366 (/proc/sys/vm/nr_trim_pages) which specifies the minimum number of
367 excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if
368 no trimming is to occur.
369
370 This option specifies the initial value of this option. The default
371 of 1 says that all excess pages should be trimmed.

673 Device memory hotplug support allows for establishing pmem,
674 or other device driver discovered memory regions, in the
675 memmap. This allows pfn_to_page() lookups of otherwise
676 "device-physical" addresses which is needed for using a DAX
677 mapping in an O_DIRECT operation, among other things.

706 help
707 Select HMM_MIRROR if you want to mirror range of the CPU page table of a
708 process into a device page table. Here, mirror means "keep synchronized".
709 Prerequisites: the device must provide the ability to write-protect its
710 page tables (at PAGE_SIZE granularity), and must be able to recover from
711 the resulting potential page faults.
