config ZSMALLOC
bool "Memory allocator for compressed pages"
depends on MMU
default n
help
zsmalloc is a slab-based memory allocator designed to store
compressed RAM pages. zsmalloc uses virtual memory mapping
in order to reduce fragmentation. However, this results in a
non-standard allocator interface where a handle, not a pointer, is
returned by an alloc(). This handle must be mapped in order to
access the allocated space.
config PGTABLE_MAPPING
bool "Use page table mapping to access object in zsmalloc"
depends on ZSMALLOC
help
By default, zsmalloc uses a copy-based object mapping method to
access allocations that span two pages. However, if a particular
architecture (ex, ARM) performs VM mapping faster than copying,
then you should select this. This causes zsmalloc to use page table
mapping rather than copying for object mapping.
You can check speed with zsmalloc benchmark[1].
