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

241 bool "Allow for memory compaction"
246 Compaction is the only memory management component to form
247 high order (larger physically contiguous) memory blocks
248 reliably. The page allocator relies on compaction heavily and
249 the lack of the feature can lead to unexpected OOM killer
250 invocations for high order memory requests. You shouldn't

274 Allows the migration of the physical location of pages of processes
275 while the virtual addresses are not changed. This is useful in
276 two situations. The first is on NUMA systems to put pages nearer
277 to the processors accessing. The second is when allocating huge

305 Enable bounce buffers for devices that cannot access the full range of
306 memory available to the CPU. Enabled by default when HIGHMEM is

312 An architecture should select this if it implements the
313 deprecated interface virt_to_bus(). All new architectures
314 should probably not select this.
323 bool "Enable KSM for page merging"
327 Enable Kernel Samepage Merging: KSM periodically scans those areas
328 of an application's address space that an app has advised may be
329 mergeable. When it finds pages of identical content, it replaces
330 the many instances by a single page with that content, so
331 saving memory until one or another app needs to modify the content.
332 Recommended for use with KVM, or with other duplicative applications.
333 See Documentation/vm/ksm.rst for more information: KSM is inactive
334 until a program has madvised that an area is MADV_MERGEABLE, and
335 root has set /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run to 1 (if CONFIG_SYSFS is set).
337 config DEFAULT_MMAP_MIN_ADDR
338 int "Low address space to protect from user allocation"
342 This is the portion of low virtual memory which should be protected
343 from userspace allocation. Keeping a user from writing to low pages
344 can help reduce the impact of kernel NULL pointer bugs.
346 For most ia64, ppc64 and x86 users with lots of address space
347 a value of 65536 is reasonable and should cause no problems.
348 On arm and other archs it should not be higher than 32768.
349 Programs which use vm86 functionality or have some need to map
350 this low address space will need CAP_SYS_RAWIO or disable this

366 Enables code to recover from some memory failures on systems

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

412 This feature can improve computing performance to certain
413 applications by speeding up page faults during memory
414 allocation, by reducing the number of tlb misses and by speeding
415 up the pagetable walking.

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

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

568 A lightweight compressed cache for swap pages. It takes
569 pages that are in the process of being swapped out and attempts to
570 compress them into a dynamically allocated RAM-based memory pool.
571 This can result in a significant I/O reduction on swap device and,
572 in the case where decompressing from RAM is faster that swap device
573 reads, can also improve workload performance.
575 This is marked experimental because it is a new feature (as of
576 v3.11) that interacts heavily with memory reclaim. While these

841 This feature collects and exposes statistics via debugfs. The
842 information includes global and per chunk statistics, which can
843 be used to help understand percpu memory usage.
846 bool "Enable infrastructure for get_user_pages()-related unit tests"
849 Provides /sys/kernel/debug/gup_test, which in turn provides a way
850 to make ioctl calls that can launch kernel-based unit tests for
851 the get_user_pages*() and pin_user_pages*() family of API calls.
853 These tests include benchmark testing of the _fast variants of
854 get_user_pages*() and pin_user_pages*(), as well as smoke tests of
855 the non-_fast variants.
857 There is also a sub-test that allows running dump_page() on any
858 of up to eight pages (selected by command line args) within the
859 range of user-space addresses. These pages are either pinned via
860 pin_user_pages*(), or pinned via get_user_pages*(), as specified
861 by other command line arguments.
