[PATCH 1/4] Disable khugepaged thread

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch just removes any call to start khugepaged for now.  If we decide to
go forward with this new approach, then this patch will also dismantle the other
bits of khugepaged that we'll no longer need.
