From 969d63e1af3b3abe35a49b08218f3125131ac32f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Weiner hannes@cmpxchg.org Date: Fri, 6 Oct 2023 12:00:24 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] mm: zswap: fix pool refcount bug around shrink_worker()
When a zswap store fails due to the limit, it acquires a pool reference and queues the shrinker. When the shrinker runs, it drops the reference. However, there can be multiple store attempts before the shrinker wakes up and runs once. This results in reference leaks and eventual saturation warnings for the pool refcount.
Fix this by dropping the reference again when the shrinker is already queued. This ensures one reference per shrinker run.
