  394. checks cleancache to see if it already contains it; if it does,
  395. the page is copied into the kernel and a disk access is avoided.
  396. When a transcendent memory driver is available (such as zcache or
  397. Xen transcendent memory), a significant I/O reduction
  398. may be achieved. When none is available, all cleancache calls
  399. are reduced to a single pointer-compare-against-NULL resulting
  400. in a negligible performance hit.

  406. help
  407. Frontswap is so named because it can be thought of as the opposite
  408. of a "backing" store for a swap device. The data is stored into
  409. "transcendent memory", memory that is not directly accessible or
  410. addressable by the kernel and is of unknown and possibly
  411. time-varying size. When space in transcendent memory is available,
  412. a significant swap I/O reduction may be achieved. When none is
  413. available, all frontswap calls are reduced to a single pointer-
  414. compare-against-NULL resulting in a negligible performance hit
  415. and swap data is stored as normal on the matching swap device.
  416. If unsure, say Y to enable frontswap.

  422. help
  423. This enables the Contiguous Memory Allocator which allows other
  424. subsystems to allocate big physically-contiguous blocks of memory.
  425. CMA reserves a region of memory and allows only movable pages to
  426. be allocated from it. This way, the kernel can use the memory for
  427. pagecache and when a subsystem requests for contiguous area, the
  428. allocated pages are migrated away to serve the contiguous request.
  429. If unsure, say "n".

  434. Turns on debug messages in CMA. This produces KERN_DEBUG

  442. A special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages.
  443. It is designed to store up to two compressed pages per physical
  444. page. While this design limits storage density, it has simple and
  445. deterministic reclaim properties that make it preferable to a higher
  446. density approach when reclaim will be used.

  453. help
  454. A lightweight compressed cache for swap pages. It takes
  455. pages that are in the process of being swapped out and attempts to
  456. compress them into a dynamically allocated RAM-based memory pool.
  457. This can result in a significant I/O reduction on swap device and,
  458. in the case where decompressing from RAM is faster that swap device
  459. reads, can also improve workload performance.
  460. This is marked experimental because it is a new feature (as of
  461. v3.11) that interacts heavily with memory reclaim. While these
  462. interactions don't cause any known issues on simple memory setups,
  463. they have not be fully explored on the large set of potential
  464. configurations and workloads that exist.

  473. it can be cleared by hands.
