    xen: cleancache shim to Xen Transcendent Memory · 5bc20fc5
    Dan Magenheimer 提交于
    This patch provides a shim between the kernel-internal cleancache
    API (see Documentation/mm/cleancache.txt) and the Xen Transcendent
    Memory ABI (see http://oss.oracle.com/projects/tmem).
    
    Xen tmem provides "hypervisor RAM" as an ephemeral page-oriented
    pseudo-RAM store for cleancache pages, shared cleancache pages,
    and frontswap pages.  Tmem provides enterprise-quality concurrency,
    full save/restore and live migration support, compression
    and deduplication.
    
    A presentation showing up to 8% faster performance and up to 52%
    reduction in sectors read on a kernel compile workload, despite
    aggressive in-kernel page reclamation ("self-ballooning") can be
