During normal operation a Linux system tries to keep all application data in physical memory. Linux uses swap-space to store inactive memory pages, evicted from the systems physical memory, in order to free up physical memory capacity. The operation of evicting memory pages from the physical memory to the swapspace is called "swap-out". The operation of restoring pages from the swap-space into the physical memory is called "swap-in".
