static inline void get_page(struct page *page)
{
        page = compound_head(page);
        VM_BUG_ON(atomic_read(&page->_count) == 0);
        atomic_inc(&page->_count);
}

thats how do_wp_page perceives it) while expected not to be (probably
because the page is pinned by the read-only pte reference, by the time
do_wp_page starts).

The FC11 kernel has pvmmu on. It _could_ be a weird side effect of the
pvmmu slab bug (which only happens with DEBUG_PAGEALLOC). What were you
doing when this happened? Reproducible?

Or some other corruption that causes the crazy symptom.
