What 'truncated hugetlb page' means is that a hugepage is truncated but still on the way to free. So HPageMigratable is still set and we might come across it here.

In this branch, we have precondition that page_mapping is NULL. So it can't be hugepages for hugetlbfs files. It should be anonymous hugepages in most cases. If it's not anonymous hugepages too, i.e. (!page_mapping(hpage) && !PageAnon(hpage)), it could be free hugepages or 'truncated hugetlb page'. But we have already handled the free hugepages case, it should be 'truncated hugetlb page' here. Since it's on the way to free, we should put the refcnt to increase the chance that we can free and dissolve it into buddy to save healthy subpages. Or am I miss something?
