Subject: [PATCH v10 5/6] alloc_tag: skip percpu counter allocation when profiling is disabled
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2026 15:00:00 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260915070001.113559-6-hao.ge@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260915070001.113559-1-hao.ge@linux.dev>
After shutdown_mem_profiling() clears mem_profiling_support,
needs_section_mem() returns false, so later modules have their codetag
section placed as regular data and never enter the alloc_tag maple tree.
codetag_load_module() still called load_module(), which allocated a percpu
counter for every tag; release_module_tags() could not find these modules
on unload, so the counters leaked.
Return -EOPNOTSUPP from load_module() when profiling is off:
codetag_module_init() drops the module's cmod, no counters are allocated
and the module loads without its tags. codetag_unload_module() now always
calls free_section_mem(), since a module whose module_load() returned
-EOPNOTSUPP is not in the idr but may still hold a reserved section.
