Subject: [merged mm-hotfixes-stable] mm-mm_init-dont-cond_resched-in-deferred_init_memmap_chunk-if-called-from-deferred_grow_zone.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:57:51 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260127025752.2540EC2BCAF@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm/mm_init: don't cond_resched() in deferred_init_memmap_chunk() if called from deferred_grow_zone()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-mm_init-dont-cond_resched-in-deferred_init_memmap_chunk-if-called-from-deferred_grow_zone.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm/mm_init: don't cond_resched() in deferred_init_memmap_chunk() if called from deferred_grow_zone()
Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2026 13:43:43 -0500
Commit 3acb913c9d5b ("mm/mm_init: use deferred_init_memmap_chunk() in
deferred_grow_zone()") made deferred_grow_zone() call
deferred_init_memmap_chunk() within a pgdat_resize_lock() critical section
with irqs disabled. It did check for irqs_disabled() in
deferred_init_memmap_chunk() to avoid calling cond_resched(). For a
PREEMPT_RT kernel build, however, spin_lock_irqsave() does not disable
interrupt but rcu_read_lock() is called. This leads to the following bug
report.

Fix it adding a new argument to deferred_init_memmap_chunk() to explicitly
tell it if cond_resched() is allowed or not instead of relying on some
current state information which may vary depending on the exact kernel
configuration options that are enabled.
