vmas[] array. We haven't messed with gup.c much this time around -
just one patch from Alistair ("mm/gup.c: simplify and fix

Neither can I, even after looking at both of these recent commits to
gup.c in this branch:

commit 4d1225cd5560 ("mm/gup.c: simplify and fix
check_and_migrate_movable_pages() return codes")

commit 0e5d6dac6b65 ("mm/gup: fix FOLL_FORCE COW security issue and
remove FOLL_COW")

As you say, a bisection would really help here.
