sg increments the refcount of constituent pages in its higher order memory allocations when they are about to be mapped by userspace. This is done so the subsequent get_page/put_page when doing the mapping and unmapping does not free the page. Move over to the preferred way, that is, using compound pages instead. This fixes a whole class of possible obscure bugs where a get_user_pages on a constituent page may outlast the user mappings or even the driver.
