  249. If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the
  250. system allocator, which can cause extra fragmentation, particularly
  251. if there are a lot of transient processes.
  252. If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for
  253. long-term mappings means that the space is wasted.
  254. Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option
  255. (/proc/sys/vm/nr_trim_pages) which specifies the minimum number of
  256. excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if
  257. no trimming is to occur.

  305. Cleancache can be thought of as a page-granularity victim cache
  306. for clean pages that the kernel's pageframe replacement algorithm
  307. (PFRA) would like to keep around, but can't since there isn't enough
  308. memory. So when the PFRA "evicts" a page, it first attempts to use
  309. cleancache code to put the data contained in that page into
  310. "transcendent memory", memory that is not directly accessible or
  311. addressable by the kernel and is of unknown and possibly
  312. time-varying size. And when a cleancache-enabled
  313. filesystem wishes to access a page in a file on disk, it first
  314. checks cleancache to see if it already contains it; if it does,
  315. the page is copied into the kernel and a disk access is avoided.
  316. When a transcendent memory driver is available (such as zcache or
  317. Xen transcendent memory), a significant I/O reduction
  318. may be achieved. When none is available, all cleancache calls
  319. are reduced to a single pointer-compare-against-NULL resulting
  320. in a negligible performance hit.
