Subject: [PATCH 2/9] rcu: fix shrink budget underflow in lazy_rcu_shrink_scan
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 17:28:53 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260919002900.3134117-2-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <7dc2d858-44cc-4efa-8e94-1fe27d691f2b@paulmck-laptop>

From: Longlong Xia <xialonglong@kylinos.cn>

The lazy RCU shrinker decremented sc->nr_to_scan (unsigned long)
and then tested the result with <= 0.  When a single CPU's lazy
callback count exceeds the remaining budget, the subtraction wraps
to a large positive value and the <= 0 comparison, which is
equivalent to == 0 for an unsigned type, never fires again.  The
scan loop then iterates through every nocb CPU instead of honouring
the reclaim budget.

Accumulate into count and stop once count >= nr_to_scan.

Fixes: c945b4da7a448 ("rcu: Shrinker for lazy rcu")
