Before killing the process in this situation, try to allocate a hugepage directly from the buddy allocator. The explicitly configured pool size becomes a low watermark. When dynamically grown, the allocated huge pages are accounted as a surplus over the watermark. As huge pages are freed on a node, surplus pages are released to the buddy allocator so that the pool will shrink back to the watermark. Surplus accounting also allows for friendlier explicit pool resizing. When shrinking a pool that is fully in-use, increase the surplus so pages will be returned to the buddy allocator as soon as they are freed. When growing a pool that has a surplus, consume the surplus first and then allocate new pages.
