Thanks Greg. Linus's tree now contains my fix
5aae9265ee1a ("mm: prep_compound_tail() clear page->private")
to Mel's fix
71e2d666ef85 ("mm/huge_memory: do not clobber swp_entry_t during THP split")
so they can now go on together into 6.0 stable.

They would also have been good in 5.19 stable: but too late now, it's EOL.

Hugh
