As you said, my patch did not consider handling when manipulating the
pool. And even if that handling is done well, it will not be a valid
reason to charge surplus hugepage to memcg.

As you said, it must be an alien. Thanks to the interaction up to here,
I understood that my solution is inappropriate. I will look for another

Thank you for your kind explanation.
