Comment 1 ybuenos 2024-03-03 08:18:13 UTC 
Created kernel tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 2267506]
Comment 5 Justin M. Forbes 2024-03-04 20:53:19 UTC 
This was fixed for Fedora with the 6.7.6 stable kernel updates.
Comment 6 Audra Mitchell 2024-03-12 21:02:15 UTC 
This does not impact RHEL8 or RHEL9 at this time as we do not have this code in our kernel. The issue was not introduced until v6.7 which we have not pulled into RHEL8 or RHEL9...

As an aside, we do have these two patch which introduces the same code- but also removes it at the same time- so we can disregard:
eebc80b8a167 Revert "mm: align larger anonymous mappings on THP boundaries"
c97e82038959 mm: align larger anonymous mappings on THP boundaries

Closing the triaging jiras accordingly...
