You can't use start_page anyway, it might not be a valid page. There's
a reson it does that "pfn_valid_within()", methinks.
Anyway, my current plan is to apply your "mm: fix warning in
__set_page_dirty_nobuffers" patch - even if it's just a harmless
WARN_ON_ONCE(), and revert 5ceb9ce6fe94. Sounds like Dave hit normally
hit his problem much before two hours, and it must be even longer now.
Ack on that plan?
