nr_hugepages is not set to zero because the file offset has not been reset after read(). Fix that using lseek().
Fixes: bd67d5c15cc1 ("Test compaction of mlocked memory") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Dev Jain dev.jain@arm.com --- Merge dependency: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240513082842.4117782-1-dev.jain@arm.com/ Andrew, does it sound reasonable to have the fixes tag in the above patch too, along with this series?
