How to really disable huge pages?
Running vmware, kcompactd0 uses 100% of one CPU and the VM is basically hung until it finishes. I set transparent_hugepage=never in the kernel command line but after I rebooted I still see it running. AnonHugePages is 0kB in /proc/meminfo. It doesn't appear to offer a "really never" option, but how can I make that happen? The VM is configured for 4 GB of RAM on a 16 GB system so it shouldn't have to compact pages. This is using Slackware kernel 4.19.32.
