Subject: kselftest: mm: integrate huge page checks
Date: Thu, 01 Oct 2026 22:17:53 +0100
check_large_folios() only checks for large folios without distinguishing
between anonymous and file-backed huge pages.
To add huge page type checking, integrate the huge page checks into
__check_huge() and __check_type():
1. If hpage_size == pmd_pagesize, check PAGE_IS_HUGE instead of using
check_large_folios(), since only the mapping type matters. This
identifies PMD-mapped huge pages.
2. Otherwise, use check_large_folios() to detect large folios. This
covers mTHP cases.
3. Check the folio flags according to the huge page type via
__check_type()
