Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

You use SQL Server 2017 on a high-end Linux host that has lots of main memory. For example, 6 terabytes (TB) of main memory.
You enable trace flag (TF) 834 that causes SQL Server to use large page memory allocation.

In this scenario, after SQL Server startup, you may notice that the memory ramp-up phase in Linux with TF 834 enabled is longer.
