Currently, the kernel only accepts memory in get_page_from_freelist(), but there is another path that directly takes pages from free lists - __alloc_page_bulk(). This function can consume all accepted memory and will resort to __alloc_pages_noprof() if necessary. Conditionally accepted in __alloc_pages_bulk(). The same issue may arise due to deferred page initialization. Kick the deferred initialization machinery before abandoning the zone, as the kernel does in get_page_from_freelist().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
