Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I wasn't able to reproduce the issue
using the test at the end. I get -

$ sudo ./hugepage

Poisoning page...once
[ 121.295771] Injecting memory failure for pfn 0x8300000 at process virtual address 0x400000000000
[ 121.386450] Memory failure: 0x8300000: recovery action for huge page: Recovered

Poisoning page...once again
madvise: Bad address

What am I missing?
