The e0b72c14d8dc and 1e0877d58b1e commits look like just prerequisites, so I assume 0b62af28f249 ("i915: convert shmem_sg_free_table() to use a folio_batch") is the culprit here.

Wow, that is some great debugging.  Thanks for all the time & effort
you and others have invested.  Sorry for breaking your system.

You're almost right about the "prerequisites", but it's in the other
direction; 0b62af28f249 is a prerequisite for the later two cleanups,
so reverting all three is necessary to test 0b62af28f249.

It seems to me that you've isolated the problem to constructing overly
long sg lists.  I didn't realise that was going to be a problem, so
that's my fault.

Could I ask you to try this patch?  I'll follow up with another patch
later because I think I made another assumption that may not be valid.
