Hi Harry, I assume somehow the free_to_pcs_bulk() fallback case is taken, thus calling __kmem_cache_free_bulk(), which calls free_to_pcs_bulk() ad nauseam. free_to_pcs_bulk() { ... fallback: __kmem_cache_free_bulk(s, size, p); ... } static void __kmem_cache_free_bulk(struct kmem_cache *s, size_t size, void **p) { if (!size) return; /* * freeing to sheaves is so incompatible with the detached freelist so * once we go that way, we have to do everything differently */ if (s && s->cpu_sheaves) { free_to_pcs_bulk(s, size, p); return; } ...
