Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] mm/kmemleak: stop the per-cpu and struct page scans early too
Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2026 10:49:08 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260615-kmemleak-stack-resched-v3-3-acecd7d7fd92@debian.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260615-kmemleak-stack-resched-v3-0-acecd7d7fd92@debian.org>
The per-cpu and struct page scan loops have no reschedule-stop check of
their own: once a scan is interrupted they keep calling scan_block() for
every remaining block, which scans nothing useful.
Propagate scan_block()'s interrupted status through scan_large_block()
and break both loops as soon as it is set.
