From: "Hailong.Liu" <hailong.liu@xxxxxxxx> The function xa_for_each() in _vm_unmap_aliases() loops through all vbs. However, since commit 062eacf57ad9 ("mm: vmalloc: remove a global vmap_blocks xarray") the vb from xarray may not be on the corresponding CPU vmap_block_queue. Consequently, purge_fragmented_block() might use the wrong vbq->lock to protect the free list, leading to vbq->free breakage. Incorrect lock protection can exhaust all vmalloc space as follows: CPU0 CPU1 +--------------------------------------------+ | +--------------------+ +-----+ | +--> | |---->| |------+ | CPU1:vbq free_list | | vb1 | +--- | |<----| |<-----+ | +--------------------+ +-----+ | +--------------------------------------------+ _vm_unmap_aliases() vb_alloc() new_vmap_block() xa_for_each(&vbq->vmap_blocks, idx, vb) --> vb in CPU1:vbq->freelist purge_fragmented_block(vb) spin_lock(&vbq->lock) spin_lock(&vbq->lock) --> use CPU0:vbq->lock --> use CPU1:vbq->lock list_del_rcu(&vb->free_list) list_add_tail_rcu(&vb->free_list, &vbq->free) __list_del(vb->prev, vb->next) next->prev = prev +--------------------+ | | | CPU1:vbq free_list | +---| |<--+ | +--------------------+ | +----------------------------+ __list_add(new, head->prev, head) +--------------------------------------------+ | +--------------------+ +-----+ | +--> | |---->| |------+ | CPU1:vbq free_list | | vb2 | +--- | |<----| |<-----+ | +--------------------+ +-----+ | +--------------------------------------------+ prev->next = next +--------------------------------------------+ |----------------------------+ | | +--------------------+ | +-----+ | +--> | |--+ | |------+ | CPU1:vbq free_list | | vb2 | +--- | |<----| |<-----+ | +--------------------+ +-----+ | +--------------------------------------------+ Here’s a list breakdown. All vbs, which were to be added to ‘prev’, cannot be used by list_for_each_entry_rcu(vb, &vbq->free, free_list) in vb_alloc(). Thus, vmalloc space is exhausted.

But we need a mapping from vmap_block to vmap_block_queue, I saw zhaoyang already send a patch https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-mm/patch/20240531005007.1600287-1-zhaoyang.huang@xxxxxxxxxx/ use cpuid. pls free to use my commit message here to help others clarify the issue. fc1e0d980037 ("mm/vmalloc: prevent stale TLBs in fully utilized blocks") IMO, if caller could call vb_free, it would be not used address again. so I don't know whether we need to flush TLB here. and loop through from free list looks more resonable to me. -- 2.34.1
