- If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the
- system allocator, which can cause extra fragmentation, particularly
- if there are a lot of transient processes.
- If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for
- long-term mappings means that the space is wasted.
- Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option
- (/proc/sys/vm/nr_trim_pages) which specifies the minimum number of
- excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if
- no trimming is to occur.

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