Hello, Many users [1][2][3] have reported a kernel soft lockup in the kswapd0 task when running Waydroid (an Android container solution) on kernels with the new Rust Binder driver.
The issue manifests as a soft lockup where CPU utilization is pegged at 100% system time, stuck in the list_lru_walk path triggered by the Rust binder's shrinker.

It appears that there exists a patch addressing this issue: 'rust: binder: stop spinning in shrinker' [4]
I have tested this patch, and it appears to resolve the soft lockup issue.
Could this patch be picked up to fix the regression?
