Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/3] mm, thp: convert from optimistic to conservative
Currently, khugepaged collapses pages saying only
a referenced page enough to create a THP.
This patch changes the design from optimistic to conservative.
It gives a default threshold which is half of HPAGE_PMD_NR
for referenced pages, also introduces a new sysfs knob.
