When executing transhuge-stress with an argument to specify the virtual memory size for testing, the ram size is reported as 0, e.g.
transhuge-stress 384 thp-mmap: allocate 192 transhuge pages, using 384 MiB virtual memory and 0 MiB of ram thp-mmap: 0.184 s/loop, 0.957 ms/page, 2090.265 MiB/s 192 succeed, 0 failed
This appears to be due to a thinko in commit 0085d61fe05e ("selftests/vm/transhuge-stress: stress test for memory compaction"), where, at a guess, the intent was to base "xyz MiB of ram" on `ram` size. Here are results after using `ram` size:
thp-mmap: allocate 192 transhuge pages, using 384 MiB virtual memory and 14 MiB of ram
