the CM upper limit of Vin is limited by the vgd voltage.
when vg1 is raised above the vd1 by a vth1. M1 will go into triode.
and vd1 = vdd-|vth3|
therefore vin - (vdd-|vth3|) < vth1(include body effect)
so vin must be < (vdd-|vth3|) + vth1 for M1 to remain in sat.

what do  you think?

I think it should be vsg3 instead of |vth3|. vsg3 is set by the bias current, I5/2 depending on the W/L of M3.
