[PATCH v4 04/19] selftests/mm: skip khugepaged page cache cases without a PMD folio
From: Kiryl Shutsemau
Date: Fri Aug 14 2026 - 22:02:14 EST
From: "Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)" <kas@xxxxxxxxxx>
The page cache caps folio order at MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER, which is smaller
than the PMD order on arm64 with 64K pages, where a PMD is 512M. A
PMD-sized page cache folio is impossible there, so MADV_COLLAPSE answers
-EINVAL and khugepaged passes over the range. The shmem cases ask for a
PMD-sized folio anyway, so four of them fail and the run bails out in the
middle.
MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER is not shmem-specific: it caps every file folio. Skip
both mem types where the cap is below the PMD order.
Anonymous collapse is unaffected: its orders are not capped this way.
