From a0715cc22601e8830ace98366c0c2bd8da52af52 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alex Thorlton Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2014 15:37:10 -0700 Subject: mm, thp: add VM_INIT_DEF_MASK and PRCTL_THP_DISABLE Add VM_INIT_DEF_MASK, to allow us to set the default flags for VMs. It also adds a prctl control which allows us to set the THP disable bit in mm->def_flags so that VMs will pick up the setting as they are created.
