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

Fixes: 0085d61fe05e ("selftests/vm/transhuge-stress: stress test for memory compaction")

Ping, any comments on this?

For the record, as noted, the value reported for "ram size" appears to
use the wrong variable, `len`, where `ram` should be used instead.

Sorry for the delay on this. The change looks good to me.

Andrew! Would you like me to take this through kselftest tree?

thanks,

Is OK thanks - I'll add it to my mm/thp pile.
