So we're only holding the pgmap reference long enough to take individual page references. We used to take and put individual pgmap references inside get_page() / put_page(), but that got simplified in this commit to just take and put page reference at devm_memremap_pages() setup / teardown time: 71389703839e mm, zone_device: Replace {get, put}_zone_device_page() with a single reference to fix pmem crash -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
