release_pages() is an optimized, inlined version of __put_pages() except that zone device struct pages that are not page_is_devmap_managed() (i.e., memory_type MEMORY_DEVICE_GENERIC and MEMORY_DEVICE_PCI_P2PDMA), fall through to the code that could return the zone device page to the page allocator instead of adjusting the pgmap reference count. Clearly these type of pages are not having the reference count decremented to zero via release_pages() or page allocation problems would be seen. Just to be safe, handle the 1 to zero case in release_pages() like __put_page() does. Signed-off-by: Ralph Campbell <rcampbell@xxxxxxxxxx> --- I found this by code inspection while working on converting ZONE_DEVICE struct pages to have zero based reference counts. I don't think there is an actual problem that this fixes, it's more to future proof new uses of release_pages().
