Right now, if KVM memory stress tests are run with hugetlb sources but hugetlb is not available (either in the kernel or because /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages is 0) the test will fail with a memory allocation error. This makes it impossible to add tests that default to hugetlb-backed memory, because on a machine with a default configuration they will fail. Therefore, check HugePages_Total as well and, if zero, direct the user to enable hugepages in procfs. Furthermore, return KSFT_SKIP whenever hugetlb is not available.

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.
