You're right, then I don't see how this happens. If the error hugepage was
isolated without having PG_hwpoison set, it's unexpected and problematic.
I'm testing myself with v5.4-rc2 (simply ran move_pages12 and did
hotremove/hotadd)
but don't reproduce the issue yet. Do we need specific kernel version/config
to trigger this?
