Konstantin Khlebnikov 0085d61fe0 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
