-extra_free_kbytes

-This parameter tells the VM to keep extra free memory between the threshold
-where background reclaim (kswapd) kicks in, and the threshold where direct
-reclaim (by allocating processes) kicks in.
-
-This is useful for workloads that require low latency memory allocations
-and have a bounded burstiness in memory allocations, for example a
-realtime application that receives and transmits network traffic
-(causing in-kernel memory allocations) with a maximum total message burst
-size of 200MB may need 200MB of extra free memory to avoid direct reclaim
-related latencies.
