The XFS setup for ./khugepaged all:file checks that the kernel supports
XFS but not that mkfs.xfs is installed. When CONFIG_XFS_FS=y and
xfsprogs is missing, mkfs.xfs and mount both fail, but
SPLIT_HUGE_PAGE_TEST_XFS_PATH is assigned from mktemp -d and stays set.
The test then runs against plain tmpfs and six subtests fail.
The script already has a skip path for this test, but it never runs
because the path variable is always set. Check that mkfs.xfs exists
before attempting the XFS setup.

This seems sensible, so with the tag fixed:

Yeah. That's so lame. I like seeing what people are using - it's
interesting.
Also tautological. What else will we ever place after
"Assisted-by: "? Dr Watson?

It is like free advertising for these model[1], like I guessed.

This might be more robust, since it can detect mkfs.xfs and mount failures.
if grep xfs /proc/filesystems &>/dev/null; then
XFS_IMG=$(mktemp /tmp/xfs_img_XXXXXX)
XFS_DIR=$(mktemp -d /tmp/xfs_dir_XXXXXX)
truncate -s 314572800 ${XFS_IMG}
if mkfs.xfs -q ${XFS_IMG} && mount -t xfs -o loop ${XFS_IMG} ${XFS_DIR}; then
SPLIT_HUGE_PAGE_TEST_XFS_PATH=${XFS_DIR}
MOUNTED_XFS=1
else
rmdir ${XFS_DIR}
rm -f ${XFS_IMG}
fi
fi

I'll send v2 with this, adding a Suggested-by: tag and fixing the
Assisted-by: tag format.
Thanks for the review.
