thp: introduce sysfs knob to disable huge zero page
By default kernel tries to use huge zero page on read page fault. It's possible to disable huge zero page by writing 0 or enable it back by writing 1: echo 0 >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/use_zero_page echo 1 >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/use_zero_page Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
