The proc(5) manpage says
(
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGEis required.) Memory used
by shared memory (shmem) andtmpfs(5)allocated with
huge pages
ShmemHugePages counts the number of huge pages which are used for share memory allocations, or tmpfs. Huge pages are pages which are larger than the “standard” page size on your platform (typically, 4KiB); they have certain benefits and disadvantages, and it’s therefore interesting to keep track of them separately. Shared memory is memory which is allocated with the intention of sharing it between multiple processes, typically allocated using shmget (which allows the caller to explicitly request huge pages). tmpfs is the RAM-based temporary file system commonly used nowadays for /tmp and a number of other mount points.
