CC: +sound guys I'm not sure what is right fix here. At the time adding __GFP_COMP was a fix: see f3d48f0373c1. Other odd part about __GFP_COMP here is that we have ->_mapcount in tail pages to be used for both: mapcount of the individual page and for gup pins. __compound_tail_refcounted() doesn't recognize that we don't need tail page accounting for these pages. Hugh, I tried to ask you about the situation several times (last time on the summit). Any comments? -- Kirill A.
