The test will set the global system THP setting to never, madvise or always depending on the fixture variant and the 2M setting to inherit before it starts (and reset to original at teardown). The fixture setup will also test if PR_SET_THP_DISABLE prctl call can be made to disable all THPs and skip if it fails. This tests if the process can: - successfully get the policy to disable THPs completely. - never get a hugepage when the THPs are completely disabled with the prctl, including with MADV_HUGE and MADV_COLLAPSE. - successfully reset the policy of the process. - after reset, only get hugepages with: - MADV_COLLAPSE when policy is set to never. - MADV_HUGE and MADV_COLLAPSE when policy is set to madvise. - always when policy is set to "always". - never get a THP with MADV_NOHUGEPAGE. - repeat the above tests in a forked process to make sure the policy is carried across forks.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
