# sorry for my late reply, I was busy with personal matters these days...
Yes, that could happen (and also in the case where MF_COUNT_INCREASED is
set). We need store whether HPageMigratable flag is cleared or not in
__get_huge_page_for_hwpoison(). I'll add a parameter to
__get_huge_page_for_hwpoison() to return the flag change to the caller.
But I also think that there're a few internal states during error handling,
so it might be good to add some structure like "struct hwpoison_control"
to save such internal states over related functions (not in this series).
