 huge pages although processes will also directly compact memory as required.
 
+compaction_proactiveness
+========================
+
+This tunable takes a value in the range [0, 100] with a default value of
+20. This tunable determines how aggressively compaction is done in the
+background. Setting it to 0 disables proactive compaction.
+
+Note that compaction has a non-trivial system-wide impact as pages
+belonging to different processes are moved around, which could also lead
+to latency spikes in unsuspecting applications. The kernel employs
+various heuristics to avoid wasting CPU cycles if it detects that
+proactive compaction is not being effective.
+
+Be careful when setting it to extreme values like 100, as that may
+cause excessive background compaction activity.
