This is a PTE-mapped THP, unless <393 subpages are mapped, meaning extra refcount is present,
the page should be migratable. Even if it is not migratible due to the extra pin,
__alloc_contig_migrate_range() will return non-zero and bails out the code.
No idea why it caused the infinite loop.

Sorry, I have no access to such a machine right now and cannot afford to buy one.
Can you try the patch below on top of linux-next to see if it fixes the infinite loop issue?
Thanks.
1. split_free_page() change is irrelevant but to make the code more robust.
2. using set_migratetype_isolate() in isolate_single_pageblock() is to properly mark the pageblock
MIGRATE_ISOLATE.
3. setting to-be-migrated page's pageblock to MIGRATE_ISOLATE is to avoid a possible race
that another thread might take the free page after migration.
4. off-by-one fix and no retry if free page is not found after migration like I added before.
