I've not tested any of them, but believe 2.6.15-rc3 will suffer from
premature freeing of pages in the case of the following drivers:
arch/ia64/kernel/perfmon.c
drivers/char/ftape/lowlevel/ftape-ctl.c
drivers/media/video/cpia.c
drivers/media/video/em28xx/em28xx-video.c
drivers/media/video/meye.c
drivers/media/video/planb.c
drivers/media/video/vino.c
drivers/media/video/zoran_driver.c
drivers/media/video/zr36120.c
drivers/usb/class/audio.c
drivers/usb/media/ov511.c
drivers/usb/media/pwc/pwc-if.c
drivers/usb/media/se401.c
drivers/usb/media/sn9c102_core.c
drivers/usb/media/stv680.c
drivers/usb/media/usbvideo.c
drivers/usb/media/vicam.c
drivers/usb/media/w9968cf.c
drivers/video/gbefb.c
drivers/video/sbuslib.c
net/packet/af_packet.c
About twenty drivers fill in their mmap vma by applying remap_pfn_range
repeatedly, many of them using vmalloc_to_pfn: vm_pgoff will match only
the last range or page mapped in, and the others will be considered
normal by vm_normal_page - thus although they were not counted in by
remap_pfn_range, they will be counted out by zap_pte_range, so freed
well before the driver has finished with them (and frees them again).
A temporary hack (checking for PageAnon and ZERO_PAGE) sure to disgust
Linus, but keep those drivers safe until the proper solution arrives.

The fault address to cow_user_page is not usually page aligned, so needs
to be masked in the unusual case when that copies via the user address.

Clean away do_wp_page's "src_page": cow_user_page makes it unnecessary.

Use copy_user_highpage directly instead of cow_user_page in do_no_page:
in the immediately following page_cache_release, and elsewhere, it is
assuming that new_page is normal. If any VM_PFNMAP driver can get to
do_no_page, it's just a BUG (but not in the case of do_anonymous_page).
