The quilt patch titled

has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
selftests-mm-stop-khugepaged-during-the-madv_collapse-cases.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: stop khugepaged during the MADV_COLLAPSE cases
Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2026 01:24:36 +0100
__madvise_collapse() turns THP off before each MADV_COLLAPSE, both to keep
khugepaged out of the range and to prove MADV_COLLAPSE ignores the
setting. It clears the global controls only, which is no longer enough.
A per-order control overrides them, and -s, which makes the cases fault in
folios of one order, leaves that order's control at "always". khugepaged
then collapses the very range the case is working on, and the case fails
on a collapse that was interfered with rather than refused.
Clear the per-order controls too. MADV_COLLAPSE does not consult them:
anon never did, and shmem stopped with "mm: shmem: ignore sysfs configs
for shmem forced collapse".
