We had commit ae37c7ff79f1f030e28ec76c46ee032f8fd07607 Author: Oscar Salvador Date: Tue May 4 18:35:29 2021 -0700 mm: make alloc_contig_range handle in-use hugetlb pages alloc_contig_range() will fail if it finds a HugeTLB page within the range, without a chance to handle them. Since HugeTLB pages can be migrated as any LRU or Movable page, it does not make sense to bail out without trying. Enable the interface to recognize in-use HugeTLB pages so we can migrate them, and have much better chances to succeed the call. And I am trying to figure out if it never worked correctly, or if something changed that broke it. In start_isolate_page_range()->isolate_migratepages_block(), we do the ret = isolate_or_dissolve_huge_page(page, &cc->migratepages); to add these folios to the cc->migratepages list. In __alloc_contig_migrate_range(), we migrate the pages using migrate_pages(). After that, the src hugetlb folios should still be isolated? But I'm getting confused when these pages get un-silated and putback to hugetlb/freed. > > The specific steps for reproduction are as follows: > 1，Reserve hugetlb pages.

I would have assumed they get freed immediately to the buddy, or does you config maybe allow for surplus pages? -- Cheers, David / dhildenb
