THP paths can defer splitting compound pages until after the actual remap and TLB flushes to split a huge PMD/PUD. This causes radix partition scope page table mappings to get out of synch with the host qemu page table mappings. This results in random memory corruption in the guest when running with THP. The easiest way to reproduce is use KVM balloon to free up a lot of memory in the guest and then shrink the balloon to give the memory back, while some work is being done in the guest.
