Michal Privoznik was using "free page reporting" in QEMU/virtio-balloon with hugetlbfs and hit the warning below. QEMU with free page hinting uses fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE) to discard pages that are reported as free by a VM. The reporting granularity is in pageblock granularity. So when the guest reports 2M chunks, we fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE) one huge page in QEMU. WARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 6636 at mm/page_counter.c:57 page_counter_uncharge+0x4b/0x50 Modules linked in: ...

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.
