Afraid I'm seeing an oops when running gup_longterm test on arm64 with current mm-unstable. Git bisect blames this patch. The oops reproduces for me every time on 2 different machines:

The oops trigger is at mm/gup.c:778:
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageHead(page) && !is_zone_device_page(page), page);
This is the output of gup_longterm (last output is just before oops):
# [INFO] detected hugetlb page size: 2048 KiB
# [INFO] detected hugetlb page size: 32768 KiB
# [INFO] detected hugetlb page size: 64 KiB

So 2M passed ok, and its failing for 32M, which is cont-pmd. I'm guessing you're trying to iterate 2M into a cont-pmd folio and ending up with an unexpected tail page?
I'm running with defconfig plus these:
