Component BALLOON_COMPACTION

Component Type: kbuild config

Description: Allow for balloon memory compaction/migration

More info: Memory fragmentation introduced by ballooning might reduce significantly the number of 2MB contiguous memory blocks that can be used within a guest, thus imposing performance penalties associated with the reduced number of transparent huge pages that could be used by the guest workload. Allowing the compaction & migration for memory pages enlisted as being part of memory balloon devices avoids the scenario aforementioned and helps improving memory defragmentation.

Build project: Kconfig (Linux kconfig) (Path: mm\Kconfig )
