Hello,

Just a quick question is Hugepages support still disabled by default in openvz kernel.
is it safe to enable it?

Hi,

in OpenVZ 7 transparent hugepages are enabled by default.

(root@vz7)/sys:cat ./kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
[always] madvise never
(root@vz7)/sys:uname -a
Linux <hostname> 3.10.0-957.10.1.vz7.85.16 #1 SMP Tue Apr 9 15:57:50 MSK 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

kernel config:
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_ALWAYS=y

If your problem is solved - please, report it!
It's even more important than reporting the problem itself...

So, the things remain the same.
AFAIK, you can enable them and node should not crash instantly after that. Smile

But as it's not a default configuration, it's not that widely tested by number of installations.

If i were you and i need hugepages for some reason, i'd upgrade to OpenVZ 7 -
you've got a good reason now. Smile
