TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE: There are potential non-deterministic delays to an RT thread if a critical memory region is not THP-aligned and a non-RT buffer is located in the same hugepage-aligned region. It's also possible for an unrelated thread to migrate pages belonging to an RT task incurring unexpected page faults due to memory defragmentation even if khugepaged is disabled. Regular HUGEPAGEs are not affected by this can be used. NUMA_BALANCING: There is a non-deterministic delay to mark PTEs PROT_NONE to gather NUMA fault samples, increased page faults of regions even if mlocked and non-deterministic delays when migrating pages.
