Subject: kselftest: mm: integrate huge page checks
Date: Thu, 01 Oct 2026 22:17:53 +0100

check_large_folios() only checks for large folios without distinguishing between anonymous and file-backed huge pages.

To add huge page type checking, integrate the huge page checks into __check_huge() and __check_type():

1. If hpage_size == pmd_pagesize, check PAGE_IS_HUGE instead of using check_large_folios(), since only the mapping type matters. This identifies PMD-mapped huge pages.

2. Otherwise, use check_large_folios() to detect large folios. This covers mTHP cases.

3. Check the folio flags according to the huge page type via

     __check_type()
