[PATCH 0/2] mm: two allocator fixes for 6.15

From: Johannes Weiner
Date: Wed Apr 16 2025 - 10:05:47 EST


Two fixes based on Vlastimil's review of the defrag_mode patches.

#1 fixes a bug that can lead to memory deadlocks on high-CPU-count
machines. This affects not just defrag_mode.

#2 fixes an overreclaim issue when defrag_mode is enabled.

Based on:
