Subject: [PATCH v2] mm/memcontrol: fix stuck FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE bit on isolated cpus
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2026 13:50:36 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260828135036.7d44361f@fangorn> (raw)

When drain_all_stock() sets FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE before checking
isolation, schedule_drain_work() can drop the work in a separate RCU
critical section, and housekeeping_update()'s synchronize_rcu() can race
that second check, leaving the flag set.

drain_local_stock() only clears the bit for work that ran, so the flag
remains set and the stock is never drained again.

Have schedule_drain_work() return whether the work was queued, and clear
FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE in drain_all_stock() when the remote CPU is
isolated, so future drains can retry.

Fixes: 6a792697a53a ("memcg: do not drain charge pcp caches on remote isolated cpus")
