Subject: [PATCH 12/18] maple_tree: Catch race in mas_alloc_cyclic()
Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2026 10:41:39 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260629144145.1572283-13-liam@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260629144145.1572283-1-liam@infradead.org>

If mas_alloc_cyclic() is called during a low memory situation, it is
possible the lock may be dropped so reclaim can occur.  There is a
window where some other task may allocate the same id and cause the
mas_insert() to fail with -EEXIST.  In this scenario the function will
return -EEXIST, which is not expected.

Modifying the retry on mas_nomem() to re-search for a slot means that
any race with other writes will not matter as the lock will be held
between finding the index and writing the index.

No existing users are exposed to this issue.
