We are using the wrong functions to set/clear bits, effectively touching multiple bits, writing out of range of the bitmap, resulting in memory corruptions. We have to use set_bit()/clear_bit() instead.
Can easily be reproduced by starting a qemu guest on hugetlbfs memory, inflating the balloon. QEMU crashes. This never could have worked properly - especially, also pages would have been discarded when the first sub-page would be inflated (the whole bitmap would be set). While testing I realized, that on hugetlbfs it is pretty much impossible to discard a page - the guest just frees the 4k sub-pages in random order most of the time. I was only able to discard a hugepage a handful of times - so I hope that now works correctly.
