Hi Andrew and all,

Any thoughts on this?

As for the not-included-yet tracking patch, my local testing still suggests the
need to allow for larger refcounts of huge pages (in other words, I can write a test
to pin huge pages many times, and overflow with the same backtrace that Leon has
reported).

The second struct page (I recall Jan suggested) can hold those, so I'm going to proceed
with that approach, while waiting to see if Leon has any more test data for me.

Again, I think this series is worth getting out of the way, in the meantime.


thanks,
