  238. The NOMMU mmap() frequently needs to allocate large contiguous chunks
  239. of memory on which to store mappings, but it can only ask the system
  240. allocator for chunks in 2^N*PAGE_SIZE amounts - which is frequently
  241. more than it requires. To deal with this, mmap() is able to trim off
  242. the excess and return it to the allocator.
  243. If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the
  244. system allocator, which can cause extra fragmentation, particularly
  245. if there are a lot of transient processes.
  246. If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for
  247. long-term mappings means that the space is wasted.
  248. Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option
  249. (/proc/sys/vm/nr_trim_pages) which specifies the minimum number of
  250. excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if
  251. no trimming is to occur.

  299. Cleancache can be thought of as a page-granularity victim cache
  300. for clean pages that the kernel's pageframe replacement algorithm
  301. (PFRA) would like to keep around, but can't since there isn't enough
  302. memory. So when the PFRA "evicts" a page, it first attempts to use
  303. cleancacne code to put the data contained in that page into
  304. "transcendent memory", memory that is not directly accessible or
  305. addressable by the kernel and is of unknown and possibly
  306. time-varying size. And when a cleancache-enabled
  307. filesystem wishes to access a page in a file on disk, it first
  308. checks cleancache to see if it already contains it; if it does,
  309. the page is copied into the kernel and a disk access is avoided.
  310. When a transcendent memory driver is available (such as zcache or
  311. Xen transcendent memory), a significant I/O reduction
  312. may be achieved. When none is available, all cleancache calls
  313. are reduced to a single pointer-compare-against-NULL resulting
  314. in a negligible performance hit.
