Subject: [Patch v3 1/2] mm/ksm: get mm_slot by mm_slot_entry() when slot is !NULL
Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2025 00:48:53 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250924004854.29889-2-richard.weiyang@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250924004854.29889-1-richard.weiyang@gmail.com>
Patch series "mm_slot: fix the usage of mm_slot_entry", v2.
When using mm_slot in ksm, there is code like:
slot = mm_slot_lookup(mm_slots_hash, mm);
mm_slot = mm_slot_entry(slot, struct ksm_mm_slot, slot);
if (mm_slot && ..) {
}
The mm_slot_entry() won't return a valid value if slot is NULL generally.
But currently it works since slot is the first element of struct
ksm_mm_slot.
To reduce the ambiguity and make it robust, access mm_slot_entry() when
slot is !NULL.
