Sure. Huge zero folio should be skipped in unpoison_memory(). It's not supported
anyway. I marked huge_zero_folio reserved in order to let unpoison_memory() skip it
by folio_test_reserved(folio) check. But as David points out, the use of PG_reserve
is limited, so I will find another way to fix the issue.
Thanks.
