Subject: selftests/mm: soft-dirty: skip two tests when thp is not available
Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2026 23:14:58 +0800
The test_hugepage test contain two sub tests. If just reporting one skip
when thp not available, there will be error in the log because the test
count don't match the test plan. Change to skip two tests by running the
ksft_test_result_skip twice in this case.
Without the fix (run test on thp disabled kernel):
./run_vmtests.sh -t soft_dirty

# TAP version 13
# 1..19
# ok 1 Test test_simple
