Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mm/vmalloc: Add a safer version of find_vm_area() for debug
Date: Wed, 30 Aug 2023 11:03:59 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230830110402.386898-1-joel@joelfernandes.org> (raw)

It is unsafe to dump vmalloc area information when trying to do so from
some contexts. Add a safer trylock version of the same function to do a
best-effort VMA finding and use it from vmalloc_dump_obj().
