From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx> Syzbot caught an oops at unregister_shrinker() because combination of commit 1d3d4437eae1bb29 ("vmscan: per-node deferred work") and fault injection made register_shrinker() fail and the caller of register_shrinker() did not check for failure. ---------- [ 554.881422] FAULT_INJECTION: forcing a failure.
