** Description changed:
Description:

> to taking a reference to the pgmap.
> 2) Another process unbinds the underlying p2pdma driver and the devm

Oh! Yes, nice find. We need to wait for the percpu-ref to be dead and
all outstanding references dropped before we can proceed to
arch_remove_memory(), and I think this problem has been there since
day one because the final exit was always after devm_memremap_pages()
release which means arch_remove_memory() was always racing any final
put_page(). I'll take a look, it seems the arch_remove_pages() call
needs to be moved out-of-line to its own context and wait for the
final exit of the percpu-ref.
