This test program iterates soft offlining many times for hugepages, so finally one page in every 512MB will be removed from buddy, then we can't allocate hugepage any more even if we have enough free pages. This is not good for heavy hugepage users, but that should be intended. It seems that random.c calls madvise(MADV_SOFT_OFFLINE) for 2 hugepages, and iterates it 1000 (==NR_LOOP) times, so if the system doesn't have enough memory to cover the range of 2000 hugepages (1000GB in the Arm64 system), this ENOMEM should reproduce as expected. > > Reverting this patchset and its dependency patchset [2] (reverting the > dependency alone did not help) fixed it, But it's still not clear to me why this was not visible before this patchset, so I need more check for it.
