It is pointless to migrate hugetlb memory as part of memory compaction if the hugetlb size is equal to the pageblock order. No defragmentation is occurring in this condition. It is also pointless to for the freeing scanner to scan a pageblock where a hugetlb page is pinned. Unconditionally skip these pageblocks, and do so peristently so that they are not rescanned until it is observed that these hugepages are no longer pinned. It would also be possible to do this by involving the hugetlb subsystem in marking pageblocks to no longer be skipped when they hugetlb pages are freed. This is a simple solution that doesn't involve any additional subsystems in pageblock skip manipulation.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
