Can't this be
		list_for_each_entry(folio, &h->hugepage_freelists[node], lru)

which avoids the call to page_folio() here.

I think the call to PageHWPoison is actually wrong here.  That would
only check the hwpoison bit on the first page, whereas we want to know
about the hwpoison bit on any page (don't we?)  So this should be
folio_test_has_hwpoisoned()?

Or is that a THP-thing that is different for hugetlb pages?
