Subject: mm/zswap: publish the initial pool with list_add_rcu()
Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2026 09:28:01 +0800

zswap_setup() publishes the pool on the zswap_pools list with a plain
list_add(), but the list is walked by concurrent RCU readers holding
nothing but rcu_read_lock() through zswap_total_pages(), e.g. 
/proc/meminfo and the shrinker count path.

    CPU 0 (writer)                          CPU 1 (reader)
    --------------                          --------------
    zswap_pool_create():
      pool->zs_pool = zs_create_pool(); (1)
    list_add() -> __list_add():
      WRITE_ONCE(zswap_pools.next,
          &pool->list);                (2)   zswap_total_pages():
                                                pool = READ_ONCE(     (a)
                                                    zswap_pools.next);
                                                zs_get_total_pages(   (b)
                                                    pool->zs_pool);

If (2) becomes visible to CPU 1 before (1), CPU 1 finds the pool at (a)
but dereferences a wild pointer at (b).  Publish the node with
list_add_rcu().
