For the past few days I've been seeing failures on Raspberry Pi 4 in
the hugetlbfs-madvise kselftest in -next which bisect to this patch.
The test reports:

# # -------------------------
# # running ./hugetlb-madvise
# # -------------------------
# # Unexpected number of free huge pages line 252
# # [FAIL]
# not ok 6 hugetlb-madvise # exit=1
