investigating the huge page theory a little further I'm a bit confused.
The kernel on that machine has THP enabled, and the cpu supports it (an old
amd64), but..
$ cat /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/*
0
0
0
0
0
0
I was expecting at least one of those to be non-zero.
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/full_scans and pages_collapsed
are both non-zero, so it's been busy doing _something_.
Is this expected behaviour ?
