This is the start of the stable review cycle for the 6.1.159 release. There are 568 patches in this series, all will be posted as a response to this one. If anyone has any issues with these being applied, please let me know.
I'm seeing a bunch of systems start failing with this release, they start OOMing when previously they ran OK. Most of them aren't exactly overburned with memory. These failures bisect to 61717acddadf66 (mm/memory: do not populate page table entries beyond i_size), sample bisect from one of the systems including links to test jobs (the bisects for other systems/test sets look very similar):
