The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/zsmalloc: drop pool->lock from zs_free on 64-bit systems
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-zsmalloc-drop-pool-lock-from-zs_free-on-64-bit-systems.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/zsmalloc: drop pool->lock from zs_free on 64-bit systems
Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2026 09:50:01 +0800

With class_idx encoded in obj, zs_free() can locate the size_class without
holding pool->lock on 64-bit systems.  Page migration also takes
class->lock and only rewrites the PFN field of obj, so:

  1. read obj locklessly,
  2. lock the size_class derived from obj's class_idx,
  3. re-read obj under class->lock to get a stable PFN.

This eliminates the rwlock read-side cacheline bouncing between zs_free()
and migration/compaction on multi-core systems.

Annotate handle_to_obj()/record_obj() with READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() to
prevent load/store tearing on the lockless read path and silence KCSAN
data race reports.

When ZS_OBJ_CLASS_BITS == 0 (32-bit, or 64-bit with obj too narrow to hold
class_idx), zs_free() keeps pool->lock.
