Well, this is like  "echo madvise > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled"

But I don't see how to set never.

maybe 

# CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_ALWAYS is not set
# CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_MADVISE is not set


But I don't known how to unset CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_ALWAYS in the new pve-kernel package makefile ?


I have tried to add

PVE_CONFIG_OPTS= \
..
-d CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_ALWAYS \
..

but it don't seem to work, I still have CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_ALWAYS=Y in .config

Any idea ?

I could set it in kernel config, for example: 

CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_MADVISE=y 

would that help?
