Subject: selftests/mm: skip split_huge_page_test without the split_huge_pages file
Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2026 22:02:42 -0500
Every case in split_huge_page_test goes through
/sys/kernel/debug/split_huge_pages. When that file does not exist,
because debugfs is not mounted or the kernel has no CONFIG_DEBUG_FS, the
first write bails out of the whole test and it is reported as a failure:
Bail out! write_file(/sys/kernel/debug/split_huge_pages): No such file or directory
Skip the test in that case.
