Linux kernel source tree
These functions accomplish the same thing but have different
implementations.
unpin_user_page() has a bug where it calls mod_node_page_state() after
calling put_page() which creates a risk that the page could have been
hot-uplugged from the system.
Fix this by using put_compound_head() as the only implementation.
__unpin_devmap_managed_user_page() and related can be deleted as well in
favour of the simpler, but slower, version in put_compound_head() that has
an extra atomic page_ref_sub, but always calls put_page() which internally
contains the special devmap code.
Move put_compound_head() to be directly after try_grab_compound_head() so
people can find it in future.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
