When pages are isolated in check_and_migrate_movable_pages() we skip
compound number of pages at a time. However, as Jason noted, it is not
necessary correct that pages[i] corresponds to the pages that we
skipped. This is because it is possible that the addresses in this
range had split_huge_pmd()/split_huge_pud(), and these functions do not
update the compound page metadata.
The problem can be reproduced if something like this occurs:
1. User faulted huge pages.
2. split_huge_pmd() was called for some reason
3. User has unmapped some sub-pages in the range
4. User tries to longterm pin the addresses.
The resulting pages[i] might end-up having pages which are not compound
size page aligned.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
