Possible dependencies:
Can we add this patch to the dependency list? It will allow my patch to be applied cleanly, and looks like it is close to a valid backport itself.

If you don't agree, I can rework my patch to work without it.
Thanks, Liam

From 51f625377561e5b167da2db5aafb7ee268f691c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Liam R. Howlett" Liam.Howlett@oracle.com Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2023 13:24:32 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] mm/mempolicy: fix set_mempolicy_home_node() previous VMA pointer
The two users of mbind_range() are expecting that mbind_range() will update the pointer to the previous VMA, or return an error. However, set_mempolicy_home_node() does not call mbind_range() if there is no VMA policy. The fix is to update the pointer to the previous VMA prior to continuing iterating the VMAs when there is no policy.
Users may experience a WARN_ON() during VMA policy updates when updating a range of VMAs on the home node.
