The gigantic page size may larger than memory block size, so memory
offline always fails in this case after commit b2c9e2fbba32 ("mm: make
alloc_contig_range work at pageblock granularity"),

[ 15.815756] memory offlining [mem 0x3c0000000-0x3c7ffffff] failed due to failure to isolate range
Gigantic PageHuge is bigger than a pageblock, but since it is freed as
order-0 pages, its pageblocks after being freed will get to the right
free list. There is no need to have special handling code for them in
start_isolate_page_range(). For both alloc_contig_range() and memory
offline cases, the migration code after start_isolate_page_range() will
be able to migrate gigantic PageHuge when possible. Let's clean up
start_isolate_page_range() and fix the aforementioned memory offline
failure issue all together.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
