The patch looks mostly good to me now. Just a few smaller comments below.

I think you inherited here the Reviewed-by tags from the "add flags" patch
you've merged into this one but that's not really fair since this patch
does much more... In particular I didn't give my Reviewed-by tag for this
patch yet.
OK, I've removed those reviewed-by's. (I felt bad about dropping them, after
people had devoted time to reviewing, but I do see that it's wrong to imply
that they've reviewed this much much larger thing.)

I somewhat wonder about the asymmetry of try_grab_compound_head() vs
try_grab_page() in the treatment of 'flags'. How costly would it be to make
them symmetric (i.e., either set FOLL_GET for try_grab_compound_head()
callers or make sure one of FOLL_GET, FOLL_PIN is set for try_grab_page())?
Because this difference looks like a subtle catch in the long run...
Done. It is only a modest code-level change, at least the way I've done it, which is
setting FOLL_GET for try_grab_compound_head(). In order to do that, I set
it at the top of the internal gup fast calling stacks, which is actually a good
design anyway: gup fast is logically doing FOLL_GET in all cases. So setting
the flag internally is accurate and consistent with the overall design.

I think you need to also move the try_grab_page() earlier in the function.
At this point the page may be marked as mlocked and you'd need to undo that
in case try_grab_page() fails.
OK, I've moved it up, adding a "subpage" variable in order to make that work.

This function does a refcount overflow check early so that it doesn't have
to do try_get_page() here. So that check can be now removed when you do
try_grab_page() here anyway since that early check seems to be just a tiny
optimization AFAICT.

Yes. I've removed it, good spot.
