Next: [PATCH 05/14] mm: Allow CONFIG_MIGRATION to be set without CONFIG_NUMA or memory hot-remove
From: Mel Gorman on 20 Apr 2010 17:10
Add a per-node sysfs file called compact. When the file is written to,
each zone in that node is compacted. The intention that this would be
used by something like a job scheduler in a batch system before a job
starts so that the job can allocate the maximum number of hugepages
without significant start-up cost.
