Thanks for this testing run!

Zero pinned pages!

...now I'm confused. Somehow FOLL_PIN and pin_user_pages*() calls are
not happening. And although the backtraces below show some of my new
routines (like try_grab_page), they also confirm the above: there is no
pin_user_page*() call in the stack.

In particular, it looks like ib_umem_get() is calling through to
get_user_pages*(), rather than pin_user_pages*(). I don't see how this
is possible, because the code on my screen shows ib_umem_get() calling
pin_user_pages_fast().

Any thoughts or ideas are welcome here.

However, glossing over all of that and assuming that the new
GUP_PIN_COUNTING_BIAS of 256 is applied, it's interesting that we still
see any overflow. I'm less confident now that this is a true refcount
overflow.

Also, any information that would get me closer to being able to attempt
my own reproduction of the problem are *very* welcome. :)

thanks,
