The stale value sits on the child and nothing will correct it:\nfolio->memcg_data now resolves to the parent, so every later\nupdate_lru_size() for those folios goes there.\n\nDying cgroups are not freed immediately and mem_cgroup_iter() still\nwalks them, so shrink_lruvec() keeps being called on them.\nget_scan_count() reads the phantom counter through lruvec_lru_size() and\nthe scan loop then grinds through nr[] in SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX steps against\nan empty list, for as long as the dead cgroup lives.  Under MGLRU the\nMGLRU scanner runs instead, but count_shadow_nodes() sums all of\nNR_LRU_LISTS through lruvec_lru_size() and over-budgets the shadow node\nlimit just the same.\n\nOn one 251 GiB host a sweep of every mz->lru_zone_size[] found 380\ncounters describing folios on no list at all: 124777314 pages, 476 GiB,\n1.89x the machine's RAM, across 57 cgroups.  All were on memcgs with\nCSS_DYING set and CSS_ONLINE clear, and parent/child pairs reported\nbyte-identical sizes.\n\nLRU_UNEVICTABLE needs its size moved too.  Its list is deliberately not\nspliced because lruvec_init() poisons the head - the unevictable LRU is\nimaginary and folios are never threaded on it - but the size is kept by\nlruvec_add_folio()/lruvec_del_folio() and those folios account to the\nparent from here on.\n\nThis depends on commit bf4ade7dbd76 (\"memcg: keep folio's objcg same as\nits node\") and must not be backported ahead of it.  Without that\ninvariant a folio's objcg can belong to another node, so a folio already\nspliced onto the parent's list can still resolve to the child's lruvec\nuntil the objcg's node is reparented in a later iteration of\nmemcg_reparent_objcgs(); clearing the child's counter early then lets\nlruvec_del_folio() underflow it and trip the WARN_ONCE()/VM_BUG_ON() in\nmem_cgroup_update_lru_size().","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-09-17T16:12:19.776+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-19T09:07:09.51+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Linux","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"product\": \"Linux\",\n                    \"vendor\": \"Linux\",\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\",\n                    \"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\n                    \"programFiles\": [\n                        \"mm/folio.c\",\n                        \"mm/vmscan.c\"\n                    ],\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"07a6e9a2c199fed361f528781284d56771d0016f\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"007bc1842317bb99f5f6205afede940f951674c2\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"git\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"07a6e9a2c199fed361f528781284d56771d0016f\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"0e0ac326c511d514817cc7b6d7741afd59098ce2\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"git\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"},{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Linux","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"product\": \"Linux\",\n                    \"vendor\": \"Linux\",\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\",\n                    \"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\n                    \"programFiles\": [\n                        \"mm/folio.c\",\n                        \"mm/vmscan.c\"\n                    ],\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"7.1\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"0\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"7.1\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"7.2.6\",\n                            \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"7.2.*\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"7.3\",\n                            \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"*\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"original_commit_for_fix\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"}],"metrics":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/007bc1842317bb99f5f6205afede940f951674c2","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0e0ac326c511d514817cc7b6d7741afd59098ce2"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-93197","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2026-93197","identifiers":["CVE-2026-93197"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[{"source":"cisa-kev:global","scope":"Complete CISA KEV catalog; all vendors.
