The behavior does not make too much sense. If the page is freed immediately it is very likely to be used again in the next batch of allocations, and be rejected again. In addition, for support of compaction and OOM notifiers, we wish to separate the logic that communicates with the hypervisor (as well as analyzes the status of each page) from the logic that allocates or free pages. Treat all errors the same way, queuing the pages on the refuse list. Move to the next allocation size (4k) when too many pages are refused. Free the refused pages when moving to the next size to avoid situations in which too much memory is waiting to be freed on the refused list.
