[PATCH 0/2] mm/memcontrol: fix stuck FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE bit on isolated cpus
From: Rik van Riel
Date: Fri Aug 28 2026 - 09:47:04 EST
drain_all_stock() can leave FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE set after the
work is dropped. It sets the bit before checking isolation and
schedule_drain_work() checks isolation and queues in a separate RCU
critical section, so housekeeping_update()'s synchronize_rcu() can
race the second check.
drain_local_stock() only clears the bit for work that ran, so the bit
remains set and the stock is never drained again.
Patch 1 extracts the stock drain predicates into helpers.
Patch 2 reorganizes the drain_all_stock() loop, reducing nesting,
splitting out local vs remote cpu handling, and skipping everything
on isolated cpus, which solves the stuck FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE flag.
