Patch series "MM_CID and HPCC mm_struct static init fixes".
Mark Brown reported a regression [1] on linux next due to the hierarchical percpu counters (HPCC). You mentioned they were only in mm-new (and therefore not pulled into -next) [2], but it looks like they got more exposure that we expected. :)
This bug hunting got me to fix static initialization issues in both MM_CID (for upstream) and HPCC (mm-new). Mark tested my series and confirmed that it fixes his issues.
This patch (of 5):
Initialize the mm_cid.lock struct member of init_mm.
