When specified, only poison pages if ((page_flags & mask) == value). - corrupt-filter-flags-mask - corrupt-filter-flags-value This allows stress testing of many kinds of pages. Strictly speaking, the buddy pages requires taking zone lock, to avoid setting PG_hwpoison on a "was buddy but now allocated to someone" page. However we can just do nothing because we set PG_locked in the beginning, this prevents the page allocator from allocating it to someone. (It will BUG() on the unexpected PG_locked, which is fine for hwpoison testing.)

This option allows you to change some of the ways that
|
|
Linux manages its memory internally. Most users will
|
|
only have one option here: FLATMEM. This is normal
|
|
and a correct option.
|
|
|
|
Some users of more advanced features like NUMA and
|
|
memory hotplug may have different options here.
|
|
DISCONTIGMEM is an more mature, better tested system,
|
|
but is incompatible with memory hotplug and may suffer
|
|
decreased performance over SPARSEMEM. If unsure between
|

"Sparse Memory" and "Discontiguous Memory", choose

"Discontiguous Memory".

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

Many NUMA configurations will have this as the only option.

This will be the only option for some systems, including

memory hotplug systems. This is normal.

For many other systems, this will be an alternative to

"Discontiguous Memory". This option provides some potential

performance benefits, along with decreased code complexity,

but it is newer, and more experimental.

The NOMMU mmap() frequently needs to allocate large contiguous chunks
|
|
of memory on which to store mappings, but it can only ask the system
|
|
allocator for chunks in 2^N*PAGE_SIZE amounts - which is frequently
|
|
more than it requires. To deal with this, mmap() is able to trim off
|
|
the excess and return it to the allocator.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
This option specifies the initial value of this option. The default
|
|
of 1 says that all excess pages should be trimmed.
