This doesn't directly apply to master any more but this does (but is untested):

2.17.1
However, I am not sure about the first hunk.
For the second hunk - in backing_page_already_uptodate, we can see that
the backing page will be released if adding the netpage to the page
cache LRU succeeds, but will not be release in the -EEXIST case. This
change causes it to be release.
With the first hunk, we're in monitor_backing_page. It looks to me like
you could get to the release before the relevant get, so I'm worried it
will incorrectly change the refcount. Am I understanding this
incorrectly?
Regards,
Daniel
