Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y] mm/memcontrol: fix stuck FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE bit on isolated cpus
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 14:56:31 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111195600.4028594-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261107053203-failed-6.6-d2f28a1a652e@kernel.org>

From: Rik van Riel <riel@surriel.com>

[ Upstream commit d2f28a1a652e0a43f6f63de9b4e4d8d5f2716803 ]

When drain_all_stock() sets FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE before checking
isolation, schedule_drain_work() can drop the work in a separate RCU
critical section, and housekeeping_update()'s synchronize_rcu() can race
that second check, leaving the flag set.

drain_local_stock() only clears the bit for work that ran, so the flag
remains set and the stock is never drained again.

Have schedule_drain_work() return whether the work was queued, and clear
FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE in drain_all_stock() when the remote CPU is
isolated, so future drains can retry.
