Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] scripts/gdb: fix radix tree lookup and stack depot diagnostic
Date: Sun, 11 Oct 2026 10:30:42 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261011023044.1722-1-ue081723@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261010141712.2db4491436e30110ccb5a25e@linux-foundation.org>
Andrew, here are the two scripts/gdb fixes as a series, as requested.
Patch 1 fixes $lx_radix_tree_lookup(), which dereferenced slot contents
as if they were node pointers. v2 also handles the XArray sibling,
retry and zero entries that Sashiko pointed out: they carry the
internal tag but are not node pointers, and the v1 patch raised a GDB
MemoryError on them. Large folios in the page cache make sibling
entries common, so this was worth fixing rather than documenting.
Patch 2 is unchanged from v1 apart from being resent with git
send-email, since the earlier copy was word-wrapped by the mail
client. Sorry about that.
Both patches are tested against standalone GCC-built fixtures that use
the kernel struct layouts (details below the --- line of each patch),
not against a running kernel.
v1:
