     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.
