Yes, thanks for brining it to my attention! I have started looking at
the set of changes again to see if

1. I can improve test coverage (mempolicy tests for example) and madvise
2. If there is lurking code that has not been tested at my end or
covered.

It's a slow burn, but I do appreciate a Cc, I skim through linux-mm, but
the volume may make me miss topics of interest due to TZ and other
factors depending on when I check email.
