Hi,
I tried upstream stable git and bisect, this is the conclusion:
- upstream 6.1.134 is still broken
- bisect points to this patch
(Patch cannot be easily reverted, it need some other patches, anyway, it can be
used as reference what need to be backported)
476c1dfefab8b98ae9c3e3ad283c2ac10d30c774 is the first bad commit
commit 476c1dfefab8b98ae9c3e3ad283c2ac10d30c774

mm: Don't pin ZERO_PAGE in pin_user_pages()
[ Upstream commit c8070b78751955e59b42457b974bea4a4fe00187 ]
Make pin_user_pages*() leave a ZERO_PAGE unpinned if it extracts a pointer
to it from the page tables and make unpin_user_page*() correspondingly
ignore a ZERO_PAGE when unpinning. We don't want to risk overrunning a
zero page's refcount as we're only allowed ~2 million pins on it -
something that userspace can conceivably trigger.
Add a pair of functions to test whether a page or a folio is a ZERO_PAGE.
