199 depends on COMPACTION && MEMORY_BALLOON
201 Memory fragmentation introduced by ballooning might reduce
202 significantly the number of 2MB contiguous memory blocks that can be
203 used within a guest, thus imposing performance penalties associated
204 with the reduced number of transparent huge pages that could be used
205 by the guest workload. Allowing the compaction & migration for memory
206 pages enlisted as being part of memory balloon devices avoids the
207 scenario aforementioned and helps improving memory defragmentation.
210 # support for memory compaction
212 bool "Allow for memory compaction"
217 Compaction is the only memory management component to form
218 high order (larger physically contiguous) memory blocks
219 reliably. The page allocator relies on compaction heavily and
220 the lack of the feature can lead to unexpected OOM killer
221 invocations for high order memory requests. You shouldn't

232 Free page reporting allows for the incremental acquisition of

245 Allows the migration of the physical location of pages of processes
246 while the virtual addresses are not changed. This is useful in
247 two situations. The first is on NUMA systems to put pages nearer
248 to the processors accessing. The second is when allocating huge
249 pages as migration can relocate pages to satisfy a huge page
250 allocation instead of reclaiming.

276 Enable bounce buffers for devices that cannot access the full range of
277 memory available to the CPU. Enabled by default when HIGHMEM is
278 selected, but you may say n to override this.
283 An architecture should select this if it implements the
284 deprecated interface virt_to_bus(). All new architectures
285 should probably not select this.
294 bool "Enable KSM for page merging"
298 Enable Kernel Samepage Merging: KSM periodically scans those areas
299 of an application's address space that an app has advised may be
300 mergeable. When it finds pages of identical content, it replaces
301 the many instances by a single page with that content, so
302 saving memory until one or another app needs to modify the content.
303 Recommended for use with KVM, or with other duplicative applications.
304 See Documentation/vm/ksm.rst for more information: KSM is inactive
305 until a program has madvised that an area is MADV_MERGEABLE, and
306 root has set /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run to 1 (if CONFIG_SYSFS is set).
308 config DEFAULT_MMAP_MIN_ADDR
309 int "Low address space to protect from user allocation"
313 This is the portion of low virtual memory which should be protected
314 from userspace allocation. Keeping a user from writing to low pages
315 can help reduce the impact of kernel NULL pointer bugs.
317 For most ia64, ppc64 and x86 users with lots of address space
318 a value of 65536 is reasonable and should cause no problems.
319 On arm and other archs it should not be higher than 32768.
320 Programs which use vm86 functionality or have some need to map
321 this low address space will need CAP_SYS_RAWIO or disable this
322 protection by setting the value to 0.

334 select MEMORY_ISOLATION
337 Enables code to recover from some memory failures on systems
338 with MCA recovery. This allows a system to continue running
339 even when some of its memory has uncorrected errors. This requires
340 special hardware support and typically ECC memory.

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

382 huge tlb transparently to the applications whenever possible.
383 This feature can improve computing performance to certain
384 applications by speeding up page faults during memory
385 allocation, by reducing the number of tlb misses and by speeding
386 up the pagetable walking.

436 bool "Enable cleancache driver to cache clean pages if tmem is present"
438 Cleancache can be thought of as a page-granularity victim cache
439 for clean pages that the kernel's pageframe replacement algorithm
440 (PFRA) would like to keep around, but can't since there isn't enough
441 memory. So when the PFRA "evicts" a page, it first attempts to use
442 cleancache code to put the data contained in that page into
443 "transcendent memory", memory that is not directly accessible or
444 addressable by the kernel and is of unknown and possibly
445 time-varying size. And when a cleancache-enabled
446 filesystem wishes to access a page in a file on disk, it first
447 checks cleancache to see if it already contains it; if it does,
448 the page is copied into the kernel and a disk access is avoided.
449 When a transcendent memory driver is available (such as zcache or
450 Xen transcendent memory), a significant I/O reduction
451 may be achieved. When none is available, all cleancache calls
452 are reduced to a single pointer-compare-against-NULL resulting
453 in a negligible performance hit.
455 If unsure, say Y to enable cleancache
458 bool "Enable frontswap to cache swap pages if tmem is present"
461 Frontswap is so named because it can be thought of as the opposite
462 of a "backing" store for a swap device. The data is stored into
463 "transcendent memory", memory that is not directly accessible or
464 addressable by the kernel and is of unknown and possibly
465 time-varying size. When space in transcendent memory is available,
466 a significant swap I/O reduction may be achieved. When none is
467 available, all frontswap calls are reduced to a single pointer-
468 compare-against-NULL resulting in a negligible performance hit
469 and swap data is stored as normal on the matching swap device.
471 If unsure, say Y to enable frontswap.
474 bool "Contiguous Memory Allocator"
477 select MEMORY_ISOLATION
479 This enables the Contiguous Memory Allocator which allows other
480 subsystems to allocate big physically-contiguous blocks of memory.
481 CMA reserves a region of memory and allows only movable pages to
482 be allocated from it. This way, the kernel can use the memory for
483 pagecache and when a subsystem requests for contiguous area, the
484 allocated pages are migrated away to serve the contiguous request.
489 bool "CMA debug messages (DEVELOPMENT)"
490 depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && CMA
492 Turns on debug messages in CMA. This produces KERN_DEBUG
493 messages for every CMA call as well as various messages while

527 This option enables memory changes tracking by introducing a
528 soft-dirty bit on pte-s. This bit it set when someone writes
529 into a page just as regular dirty bit, but unlike the latter
530 it can be cleared by hands.

535 bool "Compressed cache for swap pages (EXPERIMENTAL)"

539 A lightweight compressed cache for swap pages. It takes
540 pages that are in the process of being swapped out and attempts to
541 compress them into a dynamically allocated RAM-based memory pool.
542 This can result in a significant I/O reduction on swap device and,
543 in the case where decompressing from RAM is faster that swap device
544 reads, can also improve workload performance.
546 This is marked experimental because it is a new feature (as of
547 v3.11) that interacts heavily with memory reclaim. While these
548 interactions don't cause any known issues on simple memory setups,
549 they have not be fully explored on the large set of potential
