It is enabled ("enabled=always") by default in most Linux distributions. Transparent Hugepages gives some applications a small performance improvement (~ 10% at best, 0-3% more typically), but can cause significant performance problems, or even apparent memory leaks at worst.

We will use the terms 'virtual address' and 'linear address' interchangeably. A piece of hardware called paging unit is responsible for converting virtual addresses to physical. However, the... | |
