Overview

This module disables Transparent Hugepages (THP) on Linux platforms as required by applications such as MongoDB and Redis. The procedure is based on recommendations published at mongodb.org.

The module changes the /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled and /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag settings, adds an init service to ensure the changes persist across reboots, and if applicable, configures tuned.

Usage

Basic use:

include disable_transparent_hugepage

Release

This module uses Puppet Blacksmith to publish to the Puppet Forge.

Ensure you have these lines in ~/.bash_profile:

export BLACKSMITH_FORGE_URL=https://forgeapi.puppetlabs.com
export BLACKSMITH_FORGE_USERNAME=alexharvey
export BLACKSMITH_FORGE_PASSWORD=xxxxxxxxx

Build the module and push to Forge:

bundle exec rake module:clean
