The patch titled
Subject: selftests/mm: add order-parameterized khugepaged collapse cases
has been added to the -mm mm-new branch. Its filename is
selftests-mm-add-order-parameterized-khugepaged-collapse-cases.patch
This patch will shortly appear at
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/selftests-mm-add-order-parameterized-khugepaged-collapse-cases.patch
This patch will later appear in the mm-new branch at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
Note, mm-new is a provisional staging ground for work-in-progress
patches, and acceptance into mm-new is a notification for others take
notice and to finish up reviews. Please do not hesitate to respond to
review feedback and post updated versions to replace or incrementally
fixup patches in mm-new.
The mm-new branch of mm.git is not included in linux-next
If a few days of testing in mm-new is successful, the patch will me moved
into mm.git's mm-unstable branch, which is included in linux-next
Before you just go and hit "reply", please:
a) Consider who else should be cc'ed
b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well
c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a
reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's
*** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code ***
The -mm tree is included into linux-next via various
branches at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
and is updated there most days

Subject: selftests/mm: add order-parameterized khugepaged collapse cases
Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2026 13:50:57 +0100
The mthp_khugepaged context runs the generic cases at a sub-PMD order,
which answers how many folios of that order a range ends up with. It
cannot say which order-sized window they landed in, so "the populated
window collapsed" and "the empty window next to it collapsed instead" look
alike.
Add four cases that check each window on its own, with the folio-order
helpers in vm_util:
- collapse_order_single_window(): only the populated window collapses;
- collapse_order_partial_window(): the default max_ptes_none lets a window
with one present PTE collapse;
- collapse_order_max_ptes_none(): with max_ptes_none=0 a full window
collapses and one missing a page does not;
- collapse_order_mixed_sources(): sources that are already large folios of
a smaller order collapse to the target.
Each case faults its region before MADV_HUGEPAGE with only the target
order enabled, so the sources are order 0 and the result can only come
from khugepaged. They wait for a full pass rather than for the result to
appear: without a completed pass, "not collapsed" and "not scanned yet"
are the same thing.
