[PATCH 0/2] Reintroduce picky __compound_tail_refcounted()

[Kirill A. Shutemov]

Hi Andrew,

My patch 8d63d99a5dfb which was merged during 4.1 merge window caused
regression:

  page:ffffea0010a15040 count:0 mapcount:1 mapping:          (null) index:0x0
  flags: 0x8000000000008014(referenced|dirty|tail)
  page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_mapcount(page) != 0)
  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  kernel BUG at mm/swap.c:134!

The patch was reverted by Linus.

This VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() is bogus. The first patch explains why the assert is
wrong and removes it. The second re-introduces original patch.

Kirill A. Shutemov (2):
  mm: drop bogus VM_BUG_ON_PAGE assert in put_page() codepath
  mm: avoid tail page refcounting on non-THP compound pages
