The patch titled Subject: mm/zsmalloc.c: migration can leave pages in ZS_EMPTY indefinitely has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-zsmallocc-migration-can-leave-pages-in-zs_empty-indefinitely.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Henry Burns <henryburns@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/zsmalloc.c: migration can leave pages in ZS_EMPTY indefinitely In zs_page_migrate() we call putback_zspage() after we have finished migrating all pages in this zspage. However, the return value is ignored. If a zs_free() races in between zs_page_isolate() and zs_page_migrate(), freeing the last object in the zspage, putback_zspage() will leave the page in ZS_EMPTY for potentially an unbounded amount of time. To fix this, we need to do the same thing as zs_page_putback() does: schedule free_work to occur. To avoid duplicated code, move the sequence to a new putback_zspage_deferred() function which both zs_page_migrate() and zs_page_putback() call.
