------------------------------------------------------ From: Vijay Balakrishna vijayb@linux.microsoft.com Subject: mm: khugepaged: avoid overriding min_free_kbytes set by user
set_recommended_min_free_kbytes need to honor min_free_kbytes set by the user. Post start-of-day THP enable or memory hotplug operations can lose user specified min_free_kbytes, in particular when it is higher than calculated recommended value. user_min_free_kbytes initialized to 0 to avoid undesired result when comparing with "unsigned long" type.
