Thanks for comment.
Additinally, I find that migrate_huge_pages() is needed identical fix
as migrate_pages().
@@ -1029,6 +1030,7 @@ int migrate_huge_pages(struct list_head *from,
for (pass = 0; pass < 10 && retry; pass++) {
retry = 0;
+ nr_failed = 0;
list_for_each_entry_safe(page, page2, from, lru) {
cond_resched();
