CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_16KB: 16KiB pages

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_16KB has multiple definitions:

16KiB pages found in arch/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_16KB:

• prompt: 16KiB pages
• type: bool
• depends on: CONFIG_HAVE_PAGE_SIZE_16KB
• defined in arch/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 6.9–6.17, 6.18-rc+HEAD

Help text

This option is usually a good compromise between memory consumption and performance for typical desktop and server workloads, often saving a level of page table lookups compared to 4KB pages as well as reducing TLB pressure and overhead of per-page operations in the kernel at the expense of a larger page cache.

16kB found in arch/sh/mm/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_16KB:

• prompt: 16kB
• type: bool
• depends on: ! CONFIG_MMU
• defined in arch/sh/mm/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 2.6.27–2.6.39, 3.0–3.19, 4.0–4.20, 5.0–5.19, 6.0–6.8

Help text

This enables 16kB pages on MMU-less SH systems.

16kB found in arch/mips/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_16KB:

• prompt: 16kB
• type: bool
• depends on: ! CONFIG_CPU_R3000
• defined in arch/mips/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 2.6.4–2.6.39, 3.0–3.19, 4.0–4.20, 5.0–5.19, 6.0–6.8

Help text

Using 16kB page size will result in higher performance kernel at the price of higher memory consumption. This option is available on all non-R3000 family processors. Note that you will need a suitable Linux distribution to support this.
