There is a race between isolate_huge_page() and __free_huge_page(). CPU0: CPU1: if (PageHuge(page)) put_page(page) __free_huge_page(page) spin_lock(&hugetlb_lock) update_and_free_page(page) set_compound_page_dtor(page, NULL_COMPOUND_DTOR) spin_unlock(&hugetlb_lock) isolate_huge_page(page) // trigger BUG_ON VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageHead(page), page) spin_lock(&hugetlb_lock) page_huge_active(page) // trigger BUG_ON VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageHuge(page), page) spin_unlock(&hugetlb_lock) When we isolate a HugeTLB page on CPU0. Meanwhile, we free it to the buddy allocator on CPU1. Then, we can trigger a BUG_ON on CPU0, because it is already freed to the buddy allocator.

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.
