Compound page metadata is necessary for page reference counting to work
properly on pages besides the head page. Without it, put_page
corresponding to the last outstanding get_page call on a tail page will
end up freeing that page, even if the bo still references the page.

NAK, I should add a comment since I can't count any more how many times
people came up with this.
Calling put_page() on a TTM allocated page is strictly illegal in the
first place since they are not reference counted.
Please don't tell me somebody once more tried to mmap() pages from a
DMA-buf created sg_table into a process address space?
Regards,
Christian.

I ran into this on a system using the currently in development
virtio-gpu blob resources [1]. The implementation passes dma buffers
allocated by the host gpu to KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION, so the guest
can directly access the buffers without the need for an intermediate
copy.

Yeah, that is completely illegal. They risk memory corruption with that.
You should probably report back to the author of those patches and not
that the dma_buf_mmap() functions need to be used for this use case.

Christian.
