59 This avoids having two copies of the same page in memory
60 (compressed and uncompressed) after faulting in a page from zswap.
61 The cost is that if the page was never dirtied and needs to be

628 Memory fragmentation introduced by ballooning might reduce
629 significantly the number of 2MB contiguous memory blocks that can be
630 used within a guest, thus imposing performance penalties associated
631 with the reduced number of transparent huge pages that could be used
632 by the guest workload. Allowing the compaction & migration for memory
633 pages enlisted as being part of memory balloon devices avoids the
634 scenario aforementioned and helps improving memory defragmentation.

779 depends on !MMU
780 default 1
781 help
782 The NOMMU mmap() frequently needs to allocate large contiguous chunks
783 of memory on which to store mappings, but it can only ask the system
784 allocator for chunks in 2^N*PAGE_SIZE amounts - which is frequently
785 more than it requires. To deal with this, mmap() is able to trim off
786 the excess and return it to the allocator.
787
788 If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the
789 system allocator, which can cause extra fragmentation, particularly
790 if there are a lot of transient processes.
791
792 If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for
793 long-term mappings means that the space is wasted.
794
795 Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option
796 (/proc/sys/vm/nr_trim_pages) which specifies the minimum number of
797 excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if
798 no trimming is to occur.
799
800 This option specifies the initial value of this option. The default
801 of 1 says that all excess pages should be trimmed.
