I think we need to fix that (in the patch inverting the polarity) and only set the flag where it is needed.
All eventually calls come from the direct I/O code in the block layer, iomap, legacy generic and zonefs, and they release pages that came from some form of hup. So we can just set BIO_PAGE_REFFED in bio_iov_iter_get_pages and dio_refill_pages.
