The routine remove_hugetlb_page which is called for 'page' before this routine will not clear any of the hugepage specific flags. If the calling path goes through free_huge_page, most but not all flags are cleared. We had a discussion about clearing the page->private field in Oscar's series. In the case of 'new' pages we can assume page->private is cleared, but perhaps we should not make that assumption here.

At the time, I thought about the addition of code to allocate vmmemmap, and the possibility that those allocations could fail. I thought it might make sense to perhaps process the pages one at a time so that we could quit at the first allocation failure. After more thought, I think it is best to leave the code to do bulk operations as you have done above. Why? - Just because one allocation fails does not mean the next will fail. It is possible the allocations could be from different nodes/zones. - We will still need to put the requested number of pages into surplus state. I am not suggesting you change anything.
