The userspace ublksrv shouldn't trigger this kind of issue, and the only
related code is to discard IO pages if they are idle for enough time via
madvise(MADV_DONTNEED).
In the ublk driver side, we just pin and unpin pages, and it shouldn't
be hard to verify if they work correctly . I will trace in that area.
Except for pin & unpin pages, ublk driver doesn't play any other mm
game.
In case it's an unrelated bug in the very new RC2 kernel I've started
another test which just uses a local (virtio-scsi) disk, to see if I
observe the same thing or not.
