Nick Piggin f9aed0e253 [PATCH] sg: use compound pages ... sg increments the refcount of constituent pages in its higher order memory allocations when they are about to be mapped by userspace. This is done so the subsequent get_page/put_page when doing the mapping and unmapping does not free the page. Move over to the preferred way, that is, using compound pages instead. This fixes a whole class of possible obscure bugs where a get_user_pages on a constituent page may outlast the user mappings or even the driver.
