When running the khugepaged selftest for shmem (./khugepaged all:shmem), I encountered the following test failures: : Run test: collapse_full (khugepaged:shmem) : Collapse multiple fully populated PTE table.... Fail : ... : Run test: collapse_single_pte_entry (khugepaged:shmem) : Collapse PTE table with single PTE entry present.... Fail : ... : Run test: collapse_full_of_compound (khugepaged:shmem) : Allocate huge page... OK : Split huge page leaving single PTE page table full of compound pages... OK : Collapse PTE table full of compound pages.... Fail The reason for the failure is that it will set MADV_NOHUGEPAGE to prevent khugepaged from continuing to scan shmem VMA after khugepaged finishes scanning in the wait_for_scan() function. Moreover, shmem requires a refault to establish PMD mappings. However, after commit |

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.
