Subject: selftests/mm: transhuge_stress: skip the test when thp not available
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 00:06:56 +0800
The test requires thp, skip the test when thp is not available to avoid
false positive.
Tested with thp disabled kernel.
Before the fix:
# --------------------------------
# running ./transhuge-stress -d 20
# --------------------------------
# TAP version 13
# 1..1
# transhuge-stress: allocate 1453 transhuge pages, using 2907 MiB virtual memory and 11 MiB of ram
# Bail out! MADV_HUGEPAGE# Planned tests != run tests (1 != 0)
# # Totals: pass:0 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0
# [FAIL]
not ok 60 transhuge-stress -d 20 # exit=1
After the fix:
# --------------------------------
# running ./transhuge-stress -d 20
# --------------------------------
# TAP version 13
# 1..0 # SKIP Transparent Hugepages not available
# [SKIP]
ok 5 transhuge-stress -d 20 # SKIP
