Subject:    [PATCH 3/4] mm, thp: Add VM_INIT_DEF_MASK and PRCTL_THP_DISABLE
From:       Alex Thorlton <athorlton () sgi ! com>
Date:       2014-02-27 17:23:25
Message-ID: c8d129c6f720e13f32f9a5c129084df38b2d3cf3.1393516106.git.athorlton () sgi ! com
[Download RAW message or body]

This patch adds a VM_INIT_DEF_MASK, to allow us to set the default flags
for VMs.  It also adds a prctl control which alllows us to set the THP
disable bit in mm->def_flags so that VMs will pick up the setting as
they are created.
