aws-us-west-2-korg-listserv-alma10-1 When show_free_areas() iterates over populated memory zones, it unconditionally acquires zone->lock via spin_lock_irqsave(). If show_mem() is invoked from an Oops or panic context while the crashing CPU or a wedged remote CPU already holds zone->lock, or from an NMI or hardirq context under CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT where spinlock_t is a sleeping rt_mutex, acquiring zone->lock can self-deadlock or fault before post-mortem recovery (such as kdump) can proceed. Check can_spin_trylock() and use spin_trylock_irqsave() when !can_spin_trylock(), in_nmi(), oops_in_progress, or panic_in_progress() is active, and emit the zone header after releasing zone->lock, logging a contention notice and skipping the locked zone rather than spinning indefinitely.
