TBH, the issue is more complicated than I think. :-(

Looks like only '[PATCH v7 5/8] mm, hwpoison: set PG_hwpoison for busy hugetlb pages' will be
backported to 5.19 ? Only this patch has "Fixes:" tag. If so, it will break 5.19.

I just run VPP 'https://fd.io/' to find the error message about huge page allocation
after I switched from 5.18 to 5.19.
