The mainline commit 8fde12ca79af ("mm: prevent get_user_pages() from overflowing page refcount") was backported to 4.19.y stable as commit d972ebbf42ba. The backport however missed that in 4.19, there are several arch-specific gup.c versions with fast gup implementations, so these do not prevent refcount overflow.
This stable-only commit fixes the s390 version, and is based on the backport in SUSE SLES/openSUSE 4.12-based kernels.
The remaining architectures with own gup.c are sparc, mips, sh. It's unlikely the known overflow scenario based on FUSE, which needs 140GB of RAM, is a problem for those architectures, and I don't feel confident enough to patch them.
