The patch titled
     Subject: mm/khugepaged: introduce a count_collapse_event() helper
has been added to the -mm mm-new branch.  Its filename is
     mm-khugepaged-introduce-a-count_collapse_event-helper.patch

This patch will shortly appear at
     https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/mm-khugepaged-introduce-a-count_collapse_event-helper.patch

This patch will later appear in the mm-new branch at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Note, mm-new is a provisional staging ground for work-in-progress
patches, and acceptance into mm-new is a notification for others take

If a few days of testing in mm-new is successful, the patch will me moved
into mm.git's mm-unstable branch, which is included in linux-next

Subject: mm/khugepaged: introduce a count_collapse_event() helper
Date: Tue, 04 Aug 2026 13:25:01 -0600

Provide a simple helper function to help reduce a often used, and
duplicate pattern across the khugepaged code.

When collapsing to a PMD we need to record a vm_event and the mTHP_stat
event.  When doing mTHP collapse we only update the mTHP stat.
