The log message should be reported even when huge_pages=off (and huge pages
are not used)? Otherwise we cannot determine whether huge pages are actually
used or not when no such log message is found in the server log.
Or it's simpler and more intuitive to log the message "Anonymous shared
memory was allocated with huge pages" only when huge pages are successfully
requested? If that message is logged, we can determine that huge pages are
used whatever the setting is. OTOH, if there is no such message, we can
determine that huge pages are not used for some reasons, e.g., OS doesn't
support huge pages, shared_memory_type is not set to mmap, etc.

Agreed.

Probably errcode is not necessary here because it's a log message
not error one?
