Drop dirty_log_page_splitting_test's assertion that the number of 4KiB pages remains the same across dirty logging being enabled and disabled, as the test doesn't guarantee that mappings outside of the memslots being dirty logged are stable, e.g. KVM's mappings for code and pages in memslot0 can be zapped by things like NUMA balancing. To preserve the spirit of the check, assert that (a) the number of 4KiB pages after splitting is _at least_ the number of 4KiB pages across all memslots under test, and (b) the number of hugepages before splitting adds up to the number of pages across all memslots under test. (b) is a little tenuous as it relies on memslot0 being incompatible with transparent hugepages, but that holds true for now as selftests explicitly madvise() MADV_NOHUGEPAGE for memslot0 (__vm_create() unconditionally specifies the backing type as VM_MEM_SRC_ANONYMOUS).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
