[doc fix] Correct calculation of vm.nr_hugepages - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

Hello,

The current PostgreSQL documentation overestimates the number of huge pages (vm.nr_hugepages) because the calculation
usesthe maximum virtual address space.  In practice, huge pages are only used for the anonymous shared memory segment.
Theattached patch fixes the documentation.
 

FYI, Oracle presents a shell script to calculate the number of huge pages for its shared memory segments:
