Thank you for your time.
From what I can tell, the upstream commit merged by Linus includes two
unrelated sets of changes: handling xas_retry, and fixes to "dodgy
maths". I discarded the fixes to dodgy maths for two reasons, first the
commit log says they solve a theoretical potential problem and the
guidelines for submissions to the stable kernel say to avoid such
patches, and second, I lack the expertise to be confident those fixes
are correct when working with pages and not folios.
Unsure what I should have done here.
