With your re-send, I get all patches, but they don't actually apply cleanly.

Is that base correct?

I get

  error: patch failed: mm/huge_memory.c:2750
  error: mm/huge_memory.c: patch does not apply
  Patch failed at 0004 mm/thp: narrow lru locking

for that patch "[patch 04/19] mm/thp: narrow lru locking", and that's
definitely true: the patch fragment has

@@ -2750,7 +2751,7 @@ int split_huge_page_to_list(struct page
                                __dec_lruvec_page_state(head, NR_FILE_THPS);
                }

                if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DEBUG_VM) && mapcount) {

but that __dec_lruvec_page_state() conversion was done by your
previous commit series.

So I have the feeling that what you actually mean by "base" isn't
actually really the base for that series at all..

I will try to apply it on top of my merge of your previous series instead.
