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

40 in their physical address spaces, and this option provides
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

54 This will be the only option for some systems, including
55 memory hotplug systems. This is normal.
56
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.

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

352 depends on !MMU

354 help
355 The NOMMU mmap() frequently needs to allocate large contiguous chunks
356 of memory on which to store mappings, but it can only ask the system
357 allocator for chunks in 2^N*PAGE_SIZE amounts - which is frequently
358 more than it requires. To deal with this, mmap() is able to trim off
359 the excess and return it to the allocator.
360
361 If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the
362 system allocator, which can cause extra fragmentation, particularly
363 if there are a lot of transient processes.
364
365 If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for
366 long-term mappings means that the space is wasted.
367
368 Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option
369 (/proc/sys/vm/nr_trim_pages) which specifies the minimum number of
370 excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if
371 no trimming is to occur.
372
373 This option specifies the initial value of this option. The default
374 of 1 says that all excess pages should be trimmed.

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

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