Overall, that suggests that there may have been a change somewhere
else in the kernel which is incompatible with a change in one of
the mm branches. It is interesting that the problem in next-20230210
was seen after the merge of mm-stable, and that it is now seen after
the merge of mm-everything.
That could be because I moved some merge resolution fix patches from
the merge of mm-everything to the merge of mm-stable (they were all for
conflicts involving commits that are now in mm-stable). So one of my
merge resolutions could be bad. Or there could be some interaction of
something in mm-everything (that is not in mm-stable or
mm-nonmm-stable) that is interacting with some other change in the rest
of -next.
In next-20230210, the crash happened after the merge of mm-stable.
In next-20230213, the crash happens after the merge of mm-everything.
That means both the merge of mm-stable and mm-nonmm-stable are now fine.
So I would suspect that something in the merge of mm-everything
interacts with the rest of -next.
