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
