For this situation, do you know how to reproduce it easily? Can you share
your steps in detail?

BTW: I did the test, but I didn't enter into the kernel code path because
that condition was not met.

# dmesg|grep -i huge
[    0.000000] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=(hd0,gpt2)/vmlinuz-5.12.0-rc7+ root=/dev/mapper/rhel_gigabyte--r120--20-root ro arm-smmu.disable_bypass=n initcall_blacklist=gtdt_sbsa_gwdt_init iommu.passthrough=1 crashkernel=512M hugepagesz=1G hugepages=6 debug_pagealloc=on rd.lvm.lv=rhel_gigabyte-r120-20/root rd.lvm.lv=rhel_gigabyte-r120-20/swap

Thanks.
