Subject: thp: freeze khugepaged and ksmd
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=878aee7d6b5504e01b9caffce080e792b6b8d090;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git

thp: freeze khugepaged and ksmd

It's unclear why schedule friendly kernel threads can't be taken away by
the CPU through the scheduler itself.  It's safer to stop them as they can
trigger memory allocation, if kswapd also freezes itself to avoid
generating I/O they have too.
