Hmm, actually, that baby ain't cooperative:

  [Fri Jan 17 15:23:05 2025] trace_kprobe: Could not probe notrace function
  copy_page_to_iter_nofault

... if I cannot insert kprobes to sniff around, I'm a bit stuck :}
So I think you'll reach the goal faster than me !

PS: For your bisection: the last working kernel I know of is Debian's 6.12 final:

  ii  linux-image-6.12.9-amd64         6.12.9-1                         amd64
    Linux 6.12 for 64-bit PCs (signed)
