390 more than it requires. To deal with this, mmap() is able to trim off
391 the excess and return it to the allocator.
392
393 If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the
394 system allocator, which can cause extra fragmentation, particularly
395 if there are a lot of transient processes.
396
397 If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for
398 long-term mappings means that the space is wasted.
399
400 Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option

402 excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if
403 no trimming is to occur.

482 "transcendent memory", memory that is not directly accessible or
483 addressable by the kernel and is of unknown and possibly
484 time-varying size. And when a cleancache-enabled
485 filesystem wishes to access a page in a file on disk, it first
486 checks cleancache to see if it already contains it; if it does,
487 the page is copied into the kernel and a disk access is avoided.
488 When a transcendent memory driver is available (such as zcache or
489 Xen transcendent memory), a significant I/O reduction
490 may be achieved. When none is available, all cleancache calls
491 are reduced to a single pointer-compare-against-NULL resulting
492 in a negligible performance hit.

501 Frontswap is so named because it can be thought of as the opposite
502 of a "backing" store for a swap device. The data is stored into
503 "transcendent memory", memory that is not directly accessible or
504 addressable by the kernel and is of unknown and possibly

506 a significant swap I/O reduction may be achieved. When none is
507 available, all frontswap calls are reduced to a single pointer-
508 compare-against-NULL resulting in a negligible performance hit
509 and swap data is stored as normal on the matching swap device.

519 This enables the Contiguous Memory Allocator which allows other
520 subsystems to allocate big physically-contiguous blocks of memory.
521 CMA reserves a region of memory and allows only movable pages to

523 pagecache and when a subsystem requests for contiguous area, the
524 allocated pages are migrated away to serve the contiguous request.

573 A lightweight compressed cache for swap pages. It takes

576 This can result in a significant I/O reduction on swap device and,
577 in the case where decompressing from RAM is faster that swap device
578 reads, can also improve workload performance.
