It is hard to tell what sort of problem has been detected. More
debugging is needed in order to understand it. A huge file entry is
being removed from the page table. However, at least one sub page of
that entry does not have a record that it was added as a file entry to
the page table. At Google we found a few internal security bugs using
PTCs. However, this being new on ARM64, it is possible that the bug is
in PTC/khugepaged itself.

Anshuman is it possible to repro your scenario in QEMU?
