Triggering huge-page collapse from user space
I thought about "coalesce", but "collapse" is just what the operation is ubiquitously referred to in the kernel and existing apis (e.g. /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/pages_collapsed) and stats (e.g. /proc/vmstat:thp_collapse_alloc[_failed]).
