MySQL RES memory showing very low after enabling HugeTLB

Hello

I have enabled HugeTLB in one the test server prior to analyse the performance improvement. This server has 16 core 48G, raid 5 array. I have set 38G for inoodb_buffer_pool_size and set 40G for MySQL SGA.

InnoDB buffer pool - 38G (/etc/my.cnf)
/etc/sysctl.conf
kernel.shmmax = 5200936960 ( 40x1024x1024x1024)
kernel.shmall = 1269760 a. vm.nr_hugepages= 20480
vm.hugetlb_shm_group=498

b. /etc/security/limits.conf
mysql soft memlock unlimited
mysql hard memlock unlimited

All looks good after restarting the MySQL service. it’s occupy the memory as we decided. Top command showing that RES is consuming just 2G ram and VRTS is occupying 41.4G RAM. VRTS is denoted for virtual memory and I’m assuming that Physical memory is not been used by MySQL. So suspecting there is something wrong with our hugeTLB settings. Can anyone advise

PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND

Pls advise
