Message-ID: <20250921212509.0CD0BC4CEE7@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm/show_mem: add trylock while printing alloc info
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-show_mem-add-trylock-while-printing-alloc-info.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm/show_mem: add trylock while printing alloc info
Date: Wed, 3 Sep 2025 04:16:14 -0700
In production, show_mem() can be called concurrently from two different
entities, for example one from oom_kill_process() another from
__alloc_pages_slowpath from another kthread. This patch adds a spinlock
and invokes trylock before printing out the kernel alloc info in
show_mem(). This way two alloc info won't interleave with each other,
which then makes parsing easier.
