Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mm/page_alloc: don't spin_trylock() when disallowed in free_one_page()
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 09:03:59 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260715-alloc-nolock-fixes-v1-2-fadc49952dda@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260715-alloc-nolock-fixes-v1-0-fadc49952dda@google.com>

__free_frozen_pages() checks can_spin_trylock() before entering into the
main free_frozen_page_commit()/free_one_page() path, but before this it
can get to free_one_page() via the !pcp_allowed_order() and
MIGRATE_ISOLATE paths.

The !pcp_allowed_order() path depends on usage by callers so might not
be possible in practice. The MIGRATE_ISOLATE path probably means kernel
crashes and privilege escalation if anyone ever did memory hotplug and
BPF tracing on a PREEMPT_RT or !SMP build.
