	// below. On amd64, that means khugepaged can turn a single
	// 4KB page to 2MB, bloating the process's RSS by as much as
	// 512X. (See issue #8832 and Linux kernel bug
	// https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93111)
	//
	// To work around this, we explicitly disable transparent huge
	// pages when we release pages of the heap. However, we have
	// to do this carefully because changing this flag tends to
	// split the VMA (memory mapping) containing v in to three
	// VMAs in order to track the different values of the
	// MADV_NOHUGEPAGE flag in the different regions. There's a
	// default limit of 65530 VMAs per address space (sysctl
	// vm.max_map_count), so we must be careful not to create too
	// many VMAs (see issue #12233).
	//
	// Since huge pages are huge, there's little use in adjusting
	// the MADV_NOHUGEPAGE flag on a fine granularity, so we avoid
	// exploding the number of VMAs by only adjusting the
	// MADV_NOHUGEPAGE flag on a large granularity. This still
	// gets most of the benefit of huge pages while keeping the
	// number of VMAs under control. With hugePageSize = 2MB, even
	// a pessimal heap can reach 128GB before running out of VMAs.
