From ee00479d6702393bf5eda94775349a2e28ba78fa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Hutchings Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2015 12:22:22 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] selftests: vm: Try harder to allocate huge pages If we need to increase the number of huge pages, drop caches first to reduce fragmentation and then check that we actually allocated as many as we wanted. Retry once if that doesn't work.
