Subject: [PATCHv2 0/8] thp/khugepaged improvements and CoW semantics

The patchset adds khugepaged selftest (anon-THP only for now), expands
cases khugepaged can handle and switches anon-THP copy-on-write handling
to 4k.

Please review and consider applying.

 - Fix race in compound page handling;
 - Add one more test-case for compound page case;
 - Rework LRU add cache draining;
 - Typos;

Kirill A. Shutemov (8):
  khugepaged: Add self test
  khugepaged: Do not stop collapse if less than half PTEs are referenced
  khugepaged: Drain all LRU caches before scanning pages
  khugepaged: Drain LRU add pagevec after swapin
  khugepaged: Allow to callapse a page shared across fork
  khugepaged: Allow to collapse PTE-mapped compound pages
  thp: Change CoW semantics for anon-THP
  khugepaged: Introduce 'max_ptes_shared' tunable
