Hi Andrew,

I read the code v4.4, and find the following path maybe trigger the bug.

alloc_migrate_target()
	alloc_huge_page_node()  // the node may be offline or MAX_NUMNODES
		__alloc_buddy_huge_page_no_mpol()
			__alloc_buddy_huge_page()
				__hugetlb_alloc_buddy_huge_page()
					alloc_pages_node()
						__alloc_pages_node()
							VM_BUG_ON(nid < 0 || nid >= MAX_NUMNODES);
							VM_WARN_ON(!node_online(nid));

Thanks,
Xishi Qiu
