Subject: [PATCH v10 6/6] alloc_tag: Defer /proc/allocinfo removal to a workqueue
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2026 15:00:01 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260915070001.113559-7-hao.ge@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260915070001.113559-1-hao.ge@linux.dev>

shutdown_mem_profiling() calls remove_proc_entry() from
reserve_module_tags(), which runs under mod_lock held for write.
remove_proc_entry() waits for readers, and a reader takes mod_lock for
read in allocinfo_start():

  CPU0 (insmod)                      CPU1 (read /proc/allocinfo)
  ----------------                   ----------------------------
  reserve_module_tags()
    down_write(&mod_lock)  [held]
                                     use_pde()            [in_use++]
                                     allocinfo_start()
                                       down_read(&mod_lock)  <- blocks
    shutdown_mem_profiling()
      remove_proc_entry()
        wait for in_use == 0         <- blocks

Move remove_proc_entry() to a workqueue.

The file creation is moved to the end of alloc_tag_init() as well.
If alloc_tag_init() fails with alloc_tag_cttype still NULL or an
error pointer, a concurrent reader of the leftover file would
dereference it in allocinfo_start() and panic.
