[PATCH 1/2] alloc_tag: skip percpu counter allocation when profiling is disabled
From: Hao Ge
Date: Mon Aug 17 2026 - 02:28:05 EST
After shutdown_mem_profiling() clears mem_profiling_support,
needs_section_mem() returns false, so later modules have their codetag
section placed as regular data and never enter the alloc_tag maple tree.
codetag_load_module() still called load_module(), which allocated a percpu
counter for every tag; release_module_tags() could not find these modules
on unload, so the counters leaked.
Return -EOPNOTSUPP from load_module() when profiling is off:
codetag_module_init() drops the module's cmod, no counters are allocated
and the module loads without its tags. codetag_unload_module() now always
calls free_section_mem(), since a module whose module_load() returned
-EOPNOTSUPP is not in the idr but may still hold a reserved section.
