357 of memory on which to store mappings, but it can only ask the system
358 allocator for chunks in 2^N*PAGE_SIZE amounts - which is frequently
359 more than it requires. To deal with this, mmap() is able to trim off
360 the excess and return it to the allocator.
361
362 If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the
363 system allocator, which can cause extra fragmentation, particularly
364 if there are a lot of transient processes.
365
366 If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for
367 long-term mappings means that the space is wasted.
368
369 Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option
370 (/proc/sys/vm/nr_trim_pages) which specifies the minimum number of
371 excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if
372 no trimming is to occur.

488 This enables the Contiguous Memory Allocator which allows other
489 subsystems to allocate big physically-contiguous blocks of memory.
490 CMA reserves a region of memory and allows only movable pages to
491 be allocated from it. This way, the kernel can use the memory for
492 pagecache and when a subsystem requests for contiguous area, the
493 allocated pages are migrated away to serve the contiguous request.

542 A lightweight compressed cache for swap pages. It takes
543 pages that are in the process of being swapped out and attempts to
544 compress them into a dynamically allocated RAM-based memory pool.
545 This can result in a significant I/O reduction on swap device and,
546 in the case where decompressing from RAM is faster that swap device
547 reads, can also improve workload performance.
548
549 This is marked experimental because it is a new feature (as of
550 v3.11) that interacts heavily with memory reclaim. While these

587 zsmalloc is a slab-based memory allocator designed to store

589 in order to reduce fragmentation. However, this results in a
