I asked about huge pages because you mentioned
vm.nr_hugepages = 2048
cat /proc/meminfo |grep Hugepagesize
That might say 2048K
Multiply those together and you get 4GB reserved for huge pages.
mysqld is probably not running --large-pages
Quote
Large page support in MySQL is disabled by default. To enable it, start the server with the --large-pages option. For example, you can use the following lines in your server's my.cnf file:
[mysqld]
large-pages
A guess: The OS preallocated 4GB for huge pages. But no process is using it. Meanwhile the other 4GB is used by mysqld and assorted OS things. But mysqld needs 4GB for the innodb_buffer_pool. So, something has to swap.
