There is some different between hugeTLB and THP behave when passed the
address of a tail page, for THP, it will migrate the entire THP page, but
for HugeTLB, it will return -EACCES, or -ENOENT before commit e66f17ff71
("mm/hugetlb: take page table lock in follow_huge_pmd()"),
-EACCES The page is mapped by multiple processes and can be moved
only if MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL is specified.
-ENOENT The page is not present.
But when check manual[1], both of the two errnos are not suitable, it is
better to keep the same behave between hugetlb and THP when passed the
address of a tail page, so let's just remove the PageHead() check for
HugeTLB.

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 Restructured Text 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.
