[PATCH v2 3/3] drivers/base/memory: fix locking for poison accounting lookup

From: Muchun Song

Date: Tue Apr 28 2026 - 04:57:58 EST


memblk_nr_poison_inc() and memblk_nr_poison_sub() call
find_memory_block_by_id(), which requires device_hotplug_lock to
serialize the xarray lookup against memory block removal.

Take device_hotplug_lock around the lookup and nr_hwpoison update so
the memory block cannot disappear between xa_load() and get_device().

Fixes: 5033091de814 ("mm/hwpoison: introduce per-memory_block hwpoison counter")
