Subject: mm, page_alloc: pass zone pointer to trace_reclaim_retry_zone
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2026 16:46:31 +0100

should_reclaim_retry() walks a zonelist and passes the zoneref pointer
to the reclaim_retry_zone tracepoint, which loads the zone from the
entry again to find the node.

Memory hotplug rebuilds the zonelists in place while allocations are
under way. When a zone in front of the zoneref entry has become empty,
the entries move up, and this one can be the end marker by the time the
tracepoint looks at it. zonelist_node_idx() then dereferences a NULL
zone. Short of that, the event can name another zone than the one its
numbers belong to.

Pass the zone pointer instead of the zoneref pointer.
