    Yes, in my view it should be evaluated separately too, because it's
    overall less concerning: __GFP_THISNODE there can only be set by the
    root user there. So it has a chance to be legitimate behavior
    there. Let's focus on solving the __GFP_THISNODE that any user in the
    system can set (not only root) and cause severe and unexpected swap
    storms or slowdowns to all other processes run by other users.

    ls -l /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/*/nr_hugepages

    (and boot command line)

    Thanks,
    Andrea
