Hi Sergey,

Sorry for the delay.  Not ignoring your report but chasing this in
another thread.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20231018222003.GA21776@monkey/

Quick question.
Are you using LLVM/clang in your builds?

My guess is that you are hitting the same issue.  That BUG at mm/hugetlb.c:3180
should not be checked/executed unless you allocate gigantic hugetlb pages on
the kernel command line.  Suspect you are not doing this, and loop code is
being run when it should not.
