It could be done - but how bad is the conflict resolution?

I'd be more comfortable to take a PR from you to merge into hmm.git,
rather than raw patches, then apply CH's series on top. I think.

Too bad the trace didn't say which devm cleanup triggered it.. Did
dev_pagemap_percpu_exit get called with a NULL pgmap->ref ?
