When this is the case, hugetlbfs could be disabled during boot time: hugetlbfs: disabling because there are no supported hugepage sizes Then in dissolve_free_huge_pages(), order is kept maximum (64 for 64bits), and the for loop below won't end: for (pfn = start_pfn; pfn < end_pfn; pfn += 1 << order) As suggested by Naoya, below fix checks hugepages_supported() before calling dissolve_free_huge_pages().
