for compound pages but when !is_transparent_hugepage(head) or just PageHuge(head) like:

Or making specific to hugetlbfs:

Yes, this is reasonable optimization. I will submit a follow up patch
against linux-next.

Realized it late, but the previous step was already broken. And I inherited its brokeness,
when copy-pasting the deleted chunk:

The @step should be capped at the remaining pages to iterate:

	i += min(nr_pages - i, compound_nr(head) - (pages[i] - head));
