From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com>
Subject: 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

 khugepaged will be automatically started when
 transparent_hugepage/enabled is set to "always" or "madvise, and it'll
 be automatically shutdown if it's set to "never".
