[merged mm-stable] selftests-mm-scale-khugepageds-collapse-wait-with-the-pmd-size.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: selftests/mm: scale khugepaged's collapse wait with the PMD size
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     selftests-mm-scale-khugepageds-collapse-wait-with-the-pmd-size.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: selftests/mm: scale khugepaged's collapse wait with the PMD size
Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2026 01:24:33 +0100

wait_for_scan() gives every case the same three seconds, whatever the huge
page costs to build.  collapse_full() asks for four of them: 8M at a 2M
PMD, but 2G at a 512M PMD -- arm64 with 64K base pages.  Three seconds is
thin at that size, and the case has reported a failure for a collapse that
was still going.

The timeout is a ceiling on a poll loop, not a sleep: the loop stops as
soon as ops->check_huge() sees the collapse, or as soon as full_scans has
advanced by two.  Raising it costs a passing case nothing.  Across 80 runs
of collapse_full() on arm64 with 64K pages the wait was half a second in
73 of them, with a tail to two seconds.

Keep three seconds as the floor and add a second per 128M collapsed.  A 2M
PMD is unchanged, so x86-64 is too; a 512M PMD gets 19 seconds.

On arm64 with 64K pages a passing ./khugepaged all:anon takes 49 seconds
under TCG before and after this change.
