On architectures that implement sparsemem but not discontigmem we want to be able to hide the flatmem option in some cases. On ppc64 for example, when we select NUMA we must not select flatmem.

This option allows you to change some of the ways that
|
|
Linux manages its memory internally. Most users will
|
|
only have one option here: FLATMEM. This is normal
|
|
and a correct option.
|
|
|
|
Some users of more advanced features like NUMA and
|
|
memory hotplug may have different options here.
|
|
DISCONTIGMEM is an more mature, better tested system,
|
|
but is incompatible with memory hotplug and may suffer
|
|
decreased performance over SPARSEMEM. If unsure between
|
|
"Sparse Memory" and "Discontiguous Memory", choose
|
|
"Discontiguous Memory".
|
|
|
|
If unsure, choose this option (Flat Memory) over any other.

|
|
This option provides enhanced support for discontiguous
|
|
memory systems, over FLATMEM. These systems have holes
|
|
in their physical address spaces, and this option provides
|
|
more efficient handling of these holes. However, the vast
|
|
majority of hardware has quite flat address spaces, and
|
|
can have degraded performance from extra overhead that
|
|
this option imposes.
|
|
|
|
Many NUMA configurations will have this as the only option.
|
|
|
|
If unsure, choose "Flat Memory" over this option.

This will be the only option for some systems, including
|
|
memory hotplug systems. This is normal.
|
|
|
|
For many other systems, this will be an alternative to
|
|
"Discontiguous Memory". This option provides some potential
|
|
performance benefits, along with decreased code complexity,
|
|
but it is newer, and more experimental.
|
|
|
|
If unsure, choose "Discontiguous Memory" or "Flat Memory"
|
|
over this option.
