- Allows the compaction of memory for the allocation of huge pages.
+ Compaction is the only memory management component to form
+ high order (larger physically contiguous) memory blocks
+ reliably. The page allocator relies on compaction heavily and
+ the lack of the feature can lead to unexpected OOM killer
+ invocations for high order memory requests. You shouldn't
+ disable this option unless there really is a strong reason for
+ it and then we would be really interested to hear about that at
+ linux-mm@kvack.org.
