-config CLEANCACHE
- bool "Enable cleancache driver to cache clean pages if tmem is present"
- 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
- cleancache 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.

config FRONTSWAP
- bool "Enable frontswap to cache swap pages if tmem is present"
- depends on SWAP
- help
- Frontswap is so named because it can be thought of as the opposite
- of a "backing" store for a swap device. The data is stored into
- "transcendent memory", memory that is not directly accessible or
- addressable by the kernel and is of unknown and possibly
- time-varying size. When space in transcendent memory is available,
- a significant swap I/O reduction may be achieved. When none is
- available, all frontswap calls are reduced to a single pointer-
- compare-against-NULL resulting in a negligible performance hit
- and swap data is stored as normal on the matching swap device.
-
- If unsure, say Y to enable frontswap.
