Subject: [PATCH] mm/shrinker: Fix refcount leak in shrink_slab_memcg()
Date: Mon,  2 Feb 2026 23:37:57 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260203073757.135088-1-ahacigu.linux@gmail.com> (raw)

When kmem is disabled for memcg, slab-backed shrinkers are skipped.
However, shrink_slab_memcg() doesn't drop the reference acquired via
shrinker_try_get() before continuing.

Add the missing shrinker_put().

Fixes: 50d09da8e119 ("mm: shrinker: make memcg slab shrink lockless")
