Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] mm/vmalloc: skip vmalloc_dump_obj for non-vmalloc addresses
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2026 21:17:23 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260921-vmalloc_dump_obj-v2-3-73fceb3ed1c8@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260921-vmalloc_dump_obj-v2-0-73fceb3ed1c8@linux.dev>
From: Ye Liu <liuye@kylinos.cn>
vmalloc_dump_obj() unconditionally searches all vmap nodes even when
called with a non-vmalloc address (e.g. a slab or stack pointer from
mem_dump_obj()). Add an is_vmalloc_or_module_addr() check at the
entry to avoid the unnecessary per-node trylock and rb-tree traversal.
Use is_vmalloc_or_module_addr() rather than is_vmalloc_addr() because
module, BPF, and execmem allocations reside in MODULES_VADDR..MODULES_END
on x86_64, arm64, and riscv -- outside VMALLOC_START..VMALLOC_END -- but
are still tracked in the same vmap_nodes rb-tree.
