    ksm: change default values to better fit into mainline kernel · 2c6854fd
    Izik Eidus authored
    Now that ksm is in mainline it is better to change the default values to
    better fit to most of the users.
    
    This patch change the ksm default values to be:
    
    	ksm_thread_pages_to_scan = 100 (instead of 200)
    	ksm_thread_sleep_millisecs = 20 (like before)
    	ksm_run = KSM_RUN_STOP (instead of KSM_RUN_MERGE - meaning ksm is
    	                        disabled by default)
    	ksm_max_kernel_pages = nr_free_buffer_pages / 4 (instead of 2046)
    
    The important aspect of this patch is: it disables ksm by default, and sets
    the number of the kernel_pages that can be allocated to be a reasonable
    number.
