Hi, I think hugepages etc., serve to solve the symptom of the problem (making mysqld itself unswappable) rather than the actual problem (the system needs memory on a certain node and there is none to be had). Making mysqld's memory unswappable will just mean that something else gets swapped, or in the worst case something gets OOM-killed or the allocation just fails. Those situations could be worse.
