# sorry for my poor review...

We set PG_hwpoison bit only on the head page for hugetlb, that's because
we handle multiple pages as a single one for hugetlb. So it's enough
to check isolation only on the head page.  Simply skipping pfn cursor to
the page after the hugepage should avoid the infinite loop:

  @@ -274,9 +274,13 @@ __test_page_isolated_in_pageblock(unsigned long pfn, 
unsigned long end_pfn,
                         * simple way to verify that as VM_BUG_ON(), though.
                         */
                        pfn += 1 << page_order(page);
  -             else if (skip_hwpoisoned_pages && PageHWPoison(page))
  -                     /* A HWPoisoned page cannot be also PageBuddy */
  -                     pfn++;
  +             else if (skip_hwpoisoned_pages && 
PageHWPoison(compound_head(page)))
  +                     /*
  +                      * A HWPoisoned page cannot be also PageBuddy.
  +                      * PG_hwpoison could be set only on the head page in

  +                      */
  +                     pfn += 1 << compound_order(page);
                else
                        break;
        }

Qian, could you please try this?
