But, on ARM64, there is just ~3% change, and sometimes huge tmpfs may

Both yours and Hugh's patches has the same behavior.
Any idea?
Just a shot in the dark, but what page size do you use? If you use 4k
pages, then hugepage size should be the same as on x86 and a similar
I do use 4K pages for both x86-64 and ARM64 in my testing.

behavior could be expected. Otherwise, hugepages would be too big to be
taken advantage of by your test program.
