The patch titled Subject: mm/kasan: don't reduce quarantine in atomic contexts has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-kasan-dont-reduce-quarantine-in-atomic-contexts.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/kasan: don't reduce quarantine in atomic contexts Currently we call quarantine_reduce() for ___GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM (implied by __GFP_RECLAIM) allocation. So, basically we call it on almost every allocation. quarantine_reduce() sometimes is heavy operation, and calling it with disabled interrupts may trigger hard LOCKUP: NMI watchdog: Watchdog detected hard LOCKUP on cpu 2irq event stamp: 1411258 Call Trace: <NMI> [<ffffffff98a48532>] dump_stack+0x68/0x96 [<ffffffff98357fbb>] watchdog_overflow_callback+0x15b/0x190 [<ffffffff9842f7d1>] __perf_event_overflow+0x1b1/0x540 [<ffffffff98455b14>] perf_event_overflow+0x14/0x20 [<ffffffff9801976a>] intel_pmu_handle_irq+0x36a/0xad0 [<ffffffff9800ba4c>] perf_event_nmi_handler+0x2c/0x50 [<ffffffff98057058>] nmi_handle+0x128/0x480 [<ffffffff980576d2>] default_do_nmi+0xb2/0x210 [<ffffffff980579da>] do_nmi+0x1aa/0x220 [<ffffffff99a0bb07>] end_repeat_nmi+0x1a/0x1e <<EOE>> [<ffffffff981871e6>] __kernel_text_address+0x86/0xb0 [<ffffffff98055c4b>] print_context_stack+0x7b/0x100 [<ffffffff98054e9b>] dump_trace+0x12b/0x350 [<ffffffff98076ceb>] save_stack_trace+0x2b/0x50 [<ffffffff98573003>] set_track+0x83/0x140 [<ffffffff98575f4a>] free_debug_processing+0x1aa/0x420 [<ffffffff98578506>] __slab_free+0x1d6/0x2e0 [<ffffffff9857a9b6>] ___cache_free+0xb6/0xd0 [<ffffffff9857db53>] qlist_free_all+0x83/0x100 [<ffffffff9857df07>] quarantine_reduce+0x177/0x1b0 [<ffffffff9857c423>] kasan_kmalloc+0xf3/0x100 Reduce the quarantine_reduce iff direct reclaim is allowed.
