Today: wasted 6h running a bisect for a weird compiler (both gcc and clang) issue on the 6.18-rc6 kernel. Initially thought it must be my 6.19 bound changes, but discovered Linus upstream had the issue. Smelled like mm, but starting bisecting. Fumbled that apparently, but then just eyeballed mm changes because surely that's where the issue was. And right as I get to the commit, David Hildenbrand points out that it's probably the thing fixed in Linus's tree a few hours earlier. And indeed, yes...

So thanks David for the info, and no thanks to @ljs and @vbabka for being no help whatsoever.
