selftests/vm/transhuge-stress: stress test for memory compaction
This tool induces memory fragmentation via sequential allocation of
transparent huge pages and splitting off everything except their last
sub-pages. It easily generates pressure to the memory compaction code.
$ perf stat -e 'compaction:*' -e 'migrate:*' ./transhuge-stress
