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.

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

353 depends on !MMU

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

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.
