Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] mm/vmalloc: fix vmalloc_dump_obj cross-zone VA lookup
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2026 21:17:22 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260921-vmalloc_dump_obj-v2-2-73fceb3ed1c8@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260921-vmalloc_dump_obj-v2-0-73fceb3ed1c8@linux.dev>
From: Ye Liu <liuye@kylinos.cn>
vmalloc_dump_obj() searches only one vmap node (addr_to_node(addr)),
but a vmalloc allocation may span multiple vmap zones. The VA is
stored in only one node's rb-tree (addr_to_node(va_start)), so an
object pointer in a different zone than va_start maps to a different
node and the search misses. This affects any allocation larger than
vmap_zone_size (64 KiB) on multi-CPU systems.
Iterate all vmap nodes using for_each_vmap_node, like find_vmap_area()
does, but with spin_trylock instead of spin_lock as this function can
be called from atomic dump contexts (OOM, KASAN, RCU).
