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

230 bool "Allow for memory compaction"
235 Compaction is the only memory management component to form
236 high order (larger physically contiguous) memory blocks
237 reliably. The page allocator relies on compaction heavily and
238 the lack of the feature can lead to unexpected OOM killer
239 invocations for high order memory requests. You shouldn't

263 Allows the migration of the physical location of pages of processes
264 while the virtual addresses are not changed. This is useful in
265 two situations. The first is on NUMA systems to put pages nearer
266 to the processors accessing. The second is when allocating huge
267 pages as migration can relocate pages to satisfy a huge page
268 allocation instead of reclaiming.

287 Enable bounce buffers for devices that cannot access the full range of
288 memory available to the CPU. Enabled by default when HIGHMEM is
289 selected, but you may say n to override this.
294 An architecture should select this if it implements the

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

348 Enables code to recover from some memory failures on systems

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

394 This feature can improve computing performance to certain
395 applications by speeding up page faults during memory
396 allocation, by reducing the number of tlb misses and by speeding
397 up the pagetable walking.

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

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

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