Agree that atomic_read() is dodgy here.
Not sure I fully understand why David prefers to do the unaccounting at
free-time though? It feels unbalanced to me to increment when first mapped but
decrement when freed. Surely its safer to either use alloc/free or use first
map/last map?
If using alloc/free isn't there a THP constructor/destructor that prepares the
deferred list? (My memory may be failing me). Could we use that?
