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

249 Memory fragmentation introduced by ballooning might reduce
250 significantly the number of 2MB contiguous memory blocks that can be
251 used within a guest, thus imposing performance penalties associated
252 with the reduced number of transparent huge pages that could be used
253 by the guest workload. Allowing the compaction & migration for memory
254 pages enlisted as being part of memory balloon devices avoids the
255 scenario aforementioned and helps improving memory defragmentation.

387 The NOMMU mmap() frequently needs to allocate large contiguous chunks
388 of memory on which to store mappings, but it can only ask the system
389 allocator for chunks in 2^N*PAGE_SIZE amounts - which is frequently
390 more than it requires. To deal with this, mmap() is able to trim off
391 the excess and return it to the allocator.
392
393 If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the
394 system allocator, which can cause extra fragmentation, particularly
395 if there are a lot of transient processes.
396
397 If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for
398 long-term mappings means that the space is wasted.
399
400 Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option
401 (/proc/sys/vm/nr_trim_pages) which specifies the minimum number of
402 excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if
403 no trimming is to occur.
404
405 This option specifies the initial value of this option. The default
406 of 1 says that all excess pages should be trimmed.

679 This feature allows to estimate the amount of user pages that have
680 not been touched during a given period of time. This information can
681 be useful to tune memory cgroup limits and/or for job placement
682 within a compute cluster.

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