Re: [RFC PATCH v4 5/9] KVM: selftests: Add a helper to get system configured THP page size

If we want to have some tests about transparent hugepages, the system configured THP hugepage size should better be known by the tests, which can be used for kinds of alignment or guest memory accessing of vcpus... So it makes sense to add a helper to get the transparent hugepage size.

With VM_MEM_SRC_ANONYMOUS_THP specified in vm_userspace_mem_region_add(), we now stat /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage to check whether THP is configured in the host kernel before madvise(). Based on this, we can also read file /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hpage_pmd_size to get THP hugepage size.

TEST_ASSERT will already output errno's string. Is that not sufficient? If not, I think extending TEST_ASSERT to output errno too would be fine.

Same comment as above.

fscanf with %lld?
