Subject: alloc_tag: skip percpu counter allocation when profiling is disabled
Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2026 14:27:25 +0800

Patch series "alloc_tag: fix a leak and a deadlock around
shutdown_mem_profiling()", v2.

Two fixes for issues reported by sashiko:

  1. percpu counter leak on modules loaded after profiling is disabled.
  2. AB-BA deadlock between module load and /proc/allocinfo readers.


This patch (of 2):

After shutdown_mem_profiling() clears mem_profiling_support,
needs_section_mem() returns false, so later modules have their codetag
section placed as regular data and never enter the alloc_tag maple tree. 
codetag_load_module() still called load_module(), which allocated a percpu
counter for every tag; release_module_tags() could not find these modules
on unload, so the counters leaked.

Return -EOPNOTSUPP from load_module() when profiling is off:
codetag_module_init() drops the module's cmod, no counters are allocated
and the module loads without its tags.  codetag_unload_module() now always
calls free_section_mem(), since a module whose module_load() returned
-EOPNOTSUPP is not in the idr but may still hold a reserved section.
