[PATCH 06 of 66] alter compound get_page/put_page

From: Andrea Arcangeli
Date: Wed Nov 03 2010 - 11:37:38 EST


From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@xxxxxxxxxx>

Alter compound get_page/put_page to keep references on subpages too, in order
to allow __split_huge_page_refcount to split an hugepage even while subpages
have been pinned by one of the get_user_pages() variants.
