+The hugetlb may be migrated between the per-node hugepages pool in the following
+scenarios: memory offline, memory failure, longterm pinning, syscalls(mbind,
+migrate_pages and move_pages), alloc_contig_range() and alloc_contig_pages().
+Now only memory offline, memory failure and syscalls allow fallbacking to allocate

+hugetlb migration, that means these 3 cases can break the per-node hugepages pool.
