Patch series "thp/khugepaged improvements and CoW semantics", v4. The patchset adds khugepaged selftest (anon-THP only for now), expands cases khugepaged can handle and switches anon-THP copy-on-write handling to 4k. This patch (of 8): The test checks if khugepaged is able to recover huge page where we expect to do so. It only covers anon-THP for now. Currently the test shows few failures. They are going to be addressed by the following patches.

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.
