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
39 memory systems, over FLATMEM. These systems have holes
40 in their physical address spaces, and this option provides
41 more efficient handling of these holes. However, the vast
42 majority of hardware has quite flat address spaces, and
Philipp Marekad3d0a32007-10-20 02:46:58 +020043 can have degraded performance from the extra overhead that

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,

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

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

704 help
705 Select HMM_MIRROR if you want to mirror range of the CPU page table of a
706 process into a device page table. Here, mirror means "keep synchronized".
707 Prerequisites: the device must provide the ability to write-protect its
708 page tables (at PAGE_SIZE granularity), and must be able to recover from
709 the resulting potential page faults.
