MADV_COLLAPSE is a best-effort request that will set errno to an actionable value if the request cannot be performed. For example, if pages are not found on the LRU, or if they are currently locked by something else, MADV_COLLAPSE will fail and set errno to EAGAIN to inform callers that they may try again. Since the khugepaged selftest is the first public use of MADV_COLLAPSE, set a best practice of checking errno and retrying on EAGAIN.

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 Restructured Text 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.
