Subject: [PATCH V2 1/2] sysctl: Limit the value of interface compact_memory
Date: Mon, 6 Mar 2023 14:07:33 +0800 (CST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <202303061407332798543@zte.com.cn> (raw)

From: Minghao Chi <chi.minghao@zte.com.cn>

In Documentation/admin-guide/sysctl/vm.rst:109 say: when 1 is written
to the file, all zones are compacted such that free memory is available
in contiguous blocks where possible.
So limit the value of interface compact_memory to 1.
