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

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.

Tang Chenc5320922013-11-12 15:08:10 -0800162 memory device cannot be hotplugged. This option allows the following

164 - When the system is booting, node full of hotpluggable memory can
165 be arranged to have only movable memory so that the whole node can
166 be hot-removed. (need movable_node boot option specified).
167 - After the system is up, the option allows users to online all the
168 memory of a node as movable memory so that the whole node can be
169 hot-removed.
170
171 Users who don't use the memory hotplug feature are fine with this

233 significantly the number of 2MB contiguous memory blocks that can be
234 used within a guest, thus imposing performance penalties associated
235 with the reduced number of transparent huge pages that could be used

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