Alistair Popple ef23345089 mm: free device private pages have zero refcount 
Since 27674ef6c7 ("mm: remove the extra ZONE_DEVICE struct page
refcount") device private pages have no longer had an extra reference
count when the page is in use.  However before handing them back to the
owning device driver we add an extra reference count such that free pages
have a reference count of one.

This makes it difficult to tell if a page is free or not because both free
and in use pages will have a non-zero refcount.  Instead we should return
pages to the drivers page allocator with a zero reference count.  Kernel
code can then safely use kernel functions such as get_page_unless_zero().

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
