Subject: [PATCH net-next 3/3] selftests: drv-net: iou-zcrx: allocate hugepages for large chunks test

From: Jakub Kicinski <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2026 09:13:05 -0800

The large chunks test needs 2MB hugepages for its mmap allocation,
but the test system may not have any pre-allocated. Ensure at least
64 hugepages are available before running the test, and restore the
original value on cleanup.

While at it strip the stdout, it has a trailing new line.

Before:
  ok 5 iou-zcrx.test_zcrx_large_chunks # SKIP Can't allocate huge pages
