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. config DISCONTIGMEM_MANUAL bool "Discontiguous Memory" depends on ARCH_DISCONTIGMEM_ENABLE help 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. config SPARSEMEM_MANUAL bool "Sparse Memory" depends on ARCH_SPARSEMEM_ENABLE help 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. endchoice config DISCONTIGMEM def_bool y depends on (!SELECT_MEMORY_MODEL && ARCH_DISCONTIGMEM_ENABLE) || DISCONTIGMEM_MANUAL config SPARSEMEM def_bool y depends on SPARSEMEM_MANUAL config FLATMEM def_bool y depends on (!DISCONTIGMEM && !SPARSEMEM) || FLATMEM_MANUAL config FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP def_bool y depends on !SPARSEMEM # # Both the NUMA code and DISCONTIGMEM use arrays of pg_data_t's # to represent different areas of memory.
