It's really good catch!
I think it should be stable material. For that, we should know this
patch fixes what kinds of problem.
What do you see problem? I mean please write down the oops you saw and
verify that the patch fixes your problem. :)

I think record_obj should store free_obj to *handle with masking off least bit.
IOW, how about this?
record_obj(handle, obj)
{
*(unsigned long)handle = obj & ~(1<<HANDLE_PIN_BIT);
}
Thanks a lot!
