A mirror of the official Linux kernel repository just in case

For the /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory file, the admin-guide states: When 1
is written to the file, all zones are compacted such that free memory is
available in contiguous blocks where possible. This can be important for
example in the allocation of huge pages although processes will also
directly compact memory as required
But it was not strictly followed, writing any value would cause all zones
to be compacted.
It has been slightly optimized to comply with the admin-guide. Enforce
the 1 on the unlikely chance that the sysctl handler is ever extended to
do something different.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
