Message-Id: <20200603065049.11598-1-gavin.guo@canonical.com>

Subject: [PATCH] mm: thp: Add new kernel parameters transparent_hugepage_defrag/khugepaged_defrag
There is no way to set up the defrag options in boot time. And it's
useful to set it up by default instead of making it work by a
systemd/upstart service or put the command to set up defrag inside
/etc/rc.local.
