16 This option allows you to change some of the ways that
17 Linux manages its memory internally. Most users will
18 only have one option here: FLATMEM. This is normal
19 and a correct option.

21 Some users of more advanced features like NUMA and
22 memory hotplug may have different options here.
23 DISCONTIGMEM is an more mature, better tested system,
24 but is incompatible with memory hotplug and may suffer
25 decreased performance over SPARSEMEM. If unsure between
26 "Sparse Memory" and "Discontiguous Memory", choose
27 "Discontiguous Memory".

35 This option provides enhanced support for discontiguous
36 memory systems, over FLATMEM. These systems have holes
37 in their physical address spaces, and this option provides
38 more efficient handling of these holes. However, the vast
39 majority of hardware has quite flat address spaces, and
ad3d0a38 40 can have degraded performance from the extra overhead that

280 default 1
281 help
282 The NOMMU mmap() frequently needs to allocate large contiguous chunks
283 of memory on which to store mappings, but it can only ask the system
284 allocator for chunks in 2^N*PAGE_SIZE amounts - which is frequently
285 more than it requires. To deal with this, mmap() is able to trim off
286 the excess and return it to the allocator.
287
288 If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the
289 system allocator, which can cause extra fragmentation, particularly
290 if there are a lot of transient processes.
291
292 If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for
293 long-term mappings means that the space is wasted.
294
295 Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option
296 (/proc/sys/vm/nr_trim_pages) which specifies the minimum number of
297 excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if
298 no trimming is to occur.
299
300 This option specifies the initial value of this option. The default
301 of 1 says that all excess pages should be trimmed.
