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

364 help
365 The NOMMU mmap() frequently needs to allocate large contiguous chunks
366 of memory on which to store mappings, but it can only ask the system
367 allocator for chunks in 2^N*PAGE_SIZE amounts - which is frequently
368 more than it requires. To deal with this, mmap() is able to trim off
369 the excess and return it to the allocator.
370
371 If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the
372 system allocator, which can cause extra fragmentation, particularly
373 if there are a lot of transient processes.
374
375 If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for
376 long-term mappings means that the space is wasted.
377
378 Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option
379 (/proc/sys/vm/nr_trim_pages) which specifies the minimum number of
380 excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if
381 no trimming is to occur.
382
383 This option specifies the initial value of this option. The default
384 of 1 says that all excess pages should be trimmed.

452 for clean pages that the kernel's pageframe replacement algorithm
453 (PFRA) would like to keep around, but can't since there isn't enough
454 memory. So when the PFRA "evicts" a page, it first attempts to use
Michael Witten140a1ef2011-06-10 03:57:26 +0000455 cleancache code to put the data contained in that page into
Dan Magenheimer077b1f82011-05-26 10:01:36 -0600456 "transcendent memory", memory that is not directly accessible or
457 addressable by the kernel and is of unknown and possibly
458 time-varying size. And when a cleancache-enabled
459 filesystem wishes to access a page in a file on disk, it first
460 checks cleancache to see if it already contains it; if it does,
461 the page is copied into the kernel and a disk access is avoided.
462 When a transcendent memory driver is available (such as zcache or
463 Xen transcendent memory), a significant I/O reduction
464 may be achieved. When none is available, all cleancache calls
465 are reduced to a single pointer-compare-against-NULL resulting

683 A special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages.
684 It is designed to store up to two compressed pages per physical
685 page. While this design limits storage density, it has simple and
686 deterministic reclaim properties that make it preferable to a higher
687 density approach when reclaim will be used.

702 zsmalloc is a slab-based memory allocator designed to store
703 compressed RAM pages. zsmalloc uses virtual memory mapping
704 in order to reduce fragmentation. However, this results in a
705 non-standard allocator interface where a handle, not a pointer, is
706 returned by an alloc(). This handle must be mapped in order to
707 access the allocated space.

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