16 This option allows you to change some of the ways that
17 Linux manages its memory internally. Most users will
18 only have one option here: FLATMEM. This is normal
19 and a correct option.
20
Andy Whitcroftd41dee32005-06-23 00:07:54 -070021 Some users of more advanced features like NUMA and
22 memory hotplug may have different options here.
Geert Uytterhoeven18f65332013-09-15 12:01:33 +020023 DISCONTIGMEM is a more mature, better tested system,
Andy Whitcroftd41dee32005-06-23 00:07:54 -070024 but is incompatible with memory hotplug and may suffer
25 decreased performance over SPARSEMEM. If unsure between
26 "Sparse Memory" and "Discontiguous Memory", choose
27 "Discontiguous Memory".
28
29 If unsure, choose this option (Flat Memory) over any other.

Dave Hansen785dcd42005-06-23 00:07:50 -070035 This option provides enhanced support for discontiguous
36 memory systems, over FLATMEM. These systems have holes
37 in their physical address spaces, and this option provides
38 more efficient handling of these holes. However, the vast
39 majority of hardware has quite flat address spaces, and
Philipp Marekad3d0a32007-10-20 02:46:58 +020040 can have degraded performance from the extra overhead that
Dave Hansen785dcd42005-06-23 00:07:50 -070041 this option imposes.

51 This will be the only option for some systems, including
52 memory hotplug systems. This is normal.
53
54 For many other systems, this will be an alternative to
Dave Hansenf3519f92005-09-16 19:27:54 -070055 "Discontiguous Memory". This option provides some potential
Andy Whitcroftd41dee32005-06-23 00:07:54 -070056 performance benefits, along with decreased code complexity,
57 but it is newer, and more experimental.

167 - After the system is up, the option allows users to online all the

171 Users who don't use the memory hotplug feature are fine with this

380 The NOMMU mmap() frequently needs to allocate large contiguous chunks
381 of memory on which to store mappings, but it can only ask the system
382 allocator for chunks in 2^N*PAGE_SIZE amounts - which is frequently
383 more than it requires. To deal with this, mmap() is able to trim off
384 the excess and return it to the allocator.
385
386 If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the
387 system allocator, which can cause extra fragmentation, particularly
388 if there are a lot of transient processes.
389
390 If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for
391 long-term mappings means that the space is wasted.
392
393 Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option
394 (/proc/sys/vm/nr_trim_pages) which specifies the minimum number of
395 excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if
396 no trimming is to occur.

398 This option specifies the initial value of this option. The default
399 of 1 says that all excess pages should be trimmed.

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