Hi Oscar,

This series consists of a refactoring/correctness of updating the metadata
of tail pages and a couple of fixups for the refcounting part.

 From this series on, instead of counting the stacks, we count the outstanding
nr_base_pages each stack has, which gives us a much better memory overview.
The other fixup is for the migration part.

A more detailed explanation can be found in the changelog of the respective
patches.

This fixes the following report from syzbot:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/00000000000070a2660614b83885@xxxxxxxxxx/T/#t

So you can add:

Tested-by: Alexandre Ghiti <alexghiti@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Acked-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

in case that helps any, but I think this is one for the MM folks Thanks for chasing down the fix!

Thanks,

Alex
