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.

For example, if a task is using all allowed memory, its badness score will be

There is an additional factor included in the badness score: the current memory
and swap usage is discounted by 3% for root processes.
The amount of "allowed" memory depends on the context in which the oom killer

Caveat: when a parent task is selected, the oom killer will sacrifice any first
generation children with separate address spaces instead, if possible. This
avoids servers and important system daemons from being killed and loses the
minimal amount of work.

Monitoring Migration
=====================
The following events (counters) can be used to monitor page migration.
1. PGMIGRATE_SUCCESS: Normal page migration success. Each count means that a
page was migrated. If the page was a non-THP page, then this counter is
increased by one. If the page was a THP, then this counter is increased by
the number of THP subpages. For example, migration of a single 2MB THP that
has 4KB-size base pages (subpages) will cause this counter to increase by
512.
2. PGMIGRATE_FAIL: Normal page migration failure. Same counting rules as for
_SUCCESS, above: this will be increased by the number of subpages, if it was
a THP.
3. THP_MIGRATION_SUCCESS: A THP was migrated without being split.
4. THP_MIGRATION_FAIL: A THP could not be migrated nor it could be split.
5. THP_MIGRATION_SPLIT: A THP was migrated, but not as such: first, the THP had
to be split. After splitting, a migration retry was used for it's sub-pages.
THP_MIGRATION_* events also update the appropriate PGMIGRATE_SUCCESS or
PGMIGRATE_FAIL events. For example, a THP migration failure will cause both
THP_MIGRATION_FAIL and PGMIGRATE_FAIL to increase.
