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

235 bool "Allow for memory compaction"
240 Compaction is the only memory management component to form
241 high order (larger physically contiguous) memory blocks
242 reliably. The page allocator relies on compaction heavily and
243 the lack of the feature can lead to unexpected OOM killer

269 while the virtual addresses are not changed. This is useful in
270 two situations. The first is on NUMA systems to put pages nearer
271 to the processors accessing. The second is when allocating huge
272 pages as migration can relocate pages to satisfy a huge page

293 the full range of memory available to the CPU. Enabled
294 by default when ZONE_DMA or HIGHMEM is selected, but you

316 of an application's address space that an app has advised may be
317 mergeable. When it finds pages of identical content, it replaces
318 the many instances by a single page with that content, so
319 saving memory until one or another app needs to modify the content.
320 Recommended for use with KVM, or with other duplicative applications.
321 See Documentation/vm/ksm.rst for more information: KSM is inactive
322 until a program has madvised that an area is MADV_MERGEABLE, and
323 root has set /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run to 1 (if CONFIG_SYSFS is set).
325 config DEFAULT_MMAP_MIN_ADDR
326 int "Low address space to protect from user allocation"
330 This is the portion of low virtual memory which should be protected
331 from userspace allocation. Keeping a user from writing to low pages
332 can help reduce the impact of kernel NULL pointer bugs.
334 For most ia64, ppc64 and x86 users with lots of address space
335 a value of 65536 is reasonable and should cause no problems.
336 On arm and other archs it should not be higher than 32768.
337 Programs which use vm86 functionality or have some need to map
338 this low address space will need CAP_SYS_RAWIO or disable this

354 Enables code to recover from some memory failures on systems

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

400 This feature can improve computing performance to certain
401 applications by speeding up page faults during memory
402 allocation, by reducing the number of tlb misses and by speeding

453 bool "Enable cleancache driver to cache clean pages if tmem is present"
455 Cleancache can be thought of as a page-granularity victim cache
456 for clean pages that the kernel's pageframe replacement algorithm
457 (PFRA) would like to keep around, but can't since there isn't enough
458 memory. So when the PFRA "evicts" a page, it first attempts to use
459 cleancache code to put the data contained in that page into
460 "transcendent memory", memory that is not directly accessible or
461 addressable by the kernel and is of unknown and possibly
462 time-varying size. And when a cleancache-enabled
463 filesystem wishes to access a page in a file on disk, it first
464 checks cleancache to see if it already contains it; if it does,
465 the page is copied into the kernel and a disk access is avoided.
466 When a transcendent memory driver is available (such as zcache or
467 Xen transcendent memory), a significant I/O reduction
468 may be achieved. When none is available, all cleancache calls
469 are reduced to a single pointer-compare-against-NULL resulting
470 in a negligible performance hit.
472 If unsure, say Y to enable cleancache
475 bool "Enable frontswap to cache swap pages if tmem is present"
478 Frontswap is so named because it can be thought of as the opposite
479 of a "backing" store for a swap device. The data is stored into
480 "transcendent memory", memory that is not directly accessible or
481 addressable by the kernel and is of unknown and possibly
482 time-varying size. When space in transcendent memory is available,
483 a significant swap I/O reduction may be achieved. When none is
484 available, all frontswap calls are reduced to a single pointer-
485 compare-against-NULL resulting in a negligible performance hit
486 and swap data is stored as normal on the matching swap device.
488 If unsure, say Y to enable frontswap.

494 select MEMORY_ISOLATION
496 This enables the Contiguous Memory Allocator which allows other
497 subsystems to allocate big physically-contiguous blocks of memory.
498 CMA reserves a region of memory and allows only movable pages to
499 be allocated from it. This way, the kernel can use the memory for
500 pagecache and when a subsystem requests for contiguous area, the
501 allocated pages are migrated away to serve the contiguous request.
506 bool "CMA debug messages (DEVELOPMENT)"

538 into a page just as regular dirty bit, but unlike the latter
539 it can be cleared by hands.

544 bool "Compressed cache for swap pages (EXPERIMENTAL)"
545 depends on FRONTSWAP && CRYPTO=y
548 A lightweight compressed cache for swap pages. It takes
549 pages that are in the process of being swapped out and attempts to
550 compress them into a dynamically allocated RAM-based memory pool.
551 This can result in a significant I/O reduction on swap device and,
552 in the case where decompressing from RAM is faster that swap device
553 reads, can also improve workload performance.
555 This is marked experimental because it is a new feature (as of
556 v3.11) that interacts heavily with memory reclaim. While these

706 zsmalloc is a slab-based memory allocator designed to store
707 compressed RAM pages. zsmalloc uses virtual memory mapping
708 in order to reduce fragmentation. However, this results in a

835 be used to help understand percpu memory usage.
838 bool "Enable infrastructure for get_user_pages_fast() benchmarking"
840 Provides /sys/kernel/debug/gup_benchmark that helps with testing
841 performance of get_user_pages_fast().
