Yes, I'm happy with your 1/16 (which is already there in mmotm), it's just that I'd imagined this __compound_tail_refcounted() fix should go to v4.0 (if not stable too: you've decided against, okay). What do you think, should Andrew hold it back for v4.1, or should your page-flags.h accelerate into v4.0 as precondition for this fix? Either is fine with me; but if the latter, then a week's exposure in linux-next first would probably be best.
