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?

Christian.
