Subject: [PATCH] mm/zswap: fix double decrement of the LRU node count on writeback
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2026 19:36:19 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261028113619.38752-1-kaitao.cheng@linux.dev> (raw)
From: Kaitao Cheng <chengkaitao@kylinos.cn>
Successful writeback calls zswap_entry_free(), which removes the entry
from the LRU and decrements both the sublist and node item counts.
shrink_memcg_cb() then returns LRU_REMOVED_RETRY, causing the LRU walker
to decrement the node count again.
The affected call path before this change is:
__list_lru_walk_one()
shrink_memcg_cb()
zswap_writeback_entry()
zswap_entry_free()
zswap_lru_del()
list_lru_del()
__list_lru_del()
atomic_long_dec() /* first node count decrement */
return LRU_REMOVED_RETRY
atomic_long_dec() /* second node count decrement */
Add zswap_lru_del_nocnt() to remove the entry and update only the sublist
count, leaving node accounting to the walker. Split data cleanup into
__zswap_entry_free() so writeback can free the entry without performing
another LRU deletion. Other free paths retain their existing accounting.
Fixes: 5878303c5353 ("mm/zswap: fix race between lru writeback and swapoff")
