Subject: [PATCH] mm/vmalloc: Take vmap_purge_lock in shrinker
Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2026 21:26:46 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260413192646.14683-1-urezki@gmail.com> (raw)
decay_va_pool_node() can be invoked concurrently from two paths:
__purge_vmap_area_lazy() when pools are being purged, and the
shrinker via vmap_node_shrink_scan().
However, decay_va_pool_node() is not safe to run concurrently,
and the shrinker path currently lacks serialization, leading
to races and possible leaks.
Protect decay_va_pool_node() by taking vmap_purge_lock in the
shrinker path to ensure serialization with purge users.
