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

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

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

  433. Turns on debug messages in CMA. This produces KERN_DEBUG
  434. messages for every CMA call as well as various messages while

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

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

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