There is a race window where we got the compound_head, the hugetlb page could be freed to buddy, or even changed to another compound page just before we try to get hwpoison page. Think about the below race window: CPU 1 CPU 2 memory_failure_hugetlb struct page *head = compound_head(p); hugetlb page might be freed to buddy, or even changed to another compound page. get_hwpoison_page -- page is not what we want now... If this race happens, just bail out. Also MF_MSG_DIFFERENT_PAGE_SIZE is introduced to record this event.
