16 Linux manages its memory internally. Most users will
17 only have one option here selected by the architecture

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

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

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

713 Select HMM_MIRROR if you want to mirror range of the CPU page table of a
714 process into a device page table. Here, mirror means "keep synchronized".
715 Prerequisites: the device must provide the ability to write-protect its
716 page tables (at PAGE_SIZE granularity), and must be able to recover from
717 the resulting potential page faults.
