Already mentioned in v15, but I keep thinking the following:

		if (shmem->sgt) {
			// existing code in the preceding
			// if (shmem->sgt) branch
			...

			/*
			 * Release the implicit pages ref taken in
			 * drm_gem_shmem_get_pages_sgt_locked().
			 */
			drm_gem_shmem_put_pages(shmem);
		}

does exactly the same without requiring the addition of a new field.
