I'll color bike shed with "memory compaction" although I am not aware of
other compaction types. However making it clear helps.

Sure.

It's a generic fsstress + compaction, right.

This case is hard to reproduce, and so instead of waiting for compaction
to trigger we force it now.

This reproduces a known kernel bug for which we have a fix now merged,
at the time this test was written it was not even merged on v6.9-rc4.
The fix was merged on v6.9-rc6.

I can now add this to the test:

_fixed_by_git_commit kernel d99e3140a4d3 \                                       
        "mm: turn folio_test_hugetlb into a PageType"

However I also ran into some *other* issues even after that patch was
applied. Now that v6.10-rc1 is out I will retest to clarify the
situation and see if new issues are still lingering with this test.
