Hi,
DPDK does not use MADVISE flags to allocate its hugepages - it
allocates
hugepages explicitly [1] [2].

Apologies, i didn't notice that the question was about 17.11, so the
source code links are incorrect. However, the answer itself is still
correct - we always did allocate hugepages directly, and we never used
MADVISE flags.
