Possibly related config entries to research: CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_HUGEPAGE_MIGRATION=y CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_ALWAYS=y # CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_MADVISE is not set However, if you allocate a single 4K page, that *won't* automatically promote it to a hugepage - you need to allocate 2M of contiguous virtual address space with the same access flags for it to coalesce into a hugepage.
