Patch Review
The function `drm_pagemap_cache_fini()` acquires `cache->lock`, checks whether `cache->dpagemap` is non-NULL, and if so, attempts `drm_pagemap_shrinker_cancel()`. The current code only unlocks in the true branch:
> if (drm_pagemap_shrinker_cancel(dpagemap)) {
> cache->dpagemap = NULL;
> spin_unlock(&cache->lock);
> drm_pagemap_destroy(dpagemap, false);
>+ } else {
>+ spin_unlock(&cache->lock);
> }
The fix is correct. Without the `else` branch, when `drm_pagemap_shrinker_cancel()` returns false, execution falls through to `kfree(cache)` with the spinlock still held.
One minor observation: in the `else` case, `cache->dpagemap` is left pointing at the pagemap that the shrinker is concurrently destroying, while the `true` branch NULLs it out. Since `kfree(cache)` immediately follows, this doesn't matter in practice -- the field becomes inaccessible once the cache is freed. But there is a narrow window between `spin_unlock(&cache->lock)` and `kfree(cache)` where the shrinker scan path (`drm_pagemap_shrinker_scan`) could take `cache->lock` and access `cache->dpagemap`. This is a pre-existing design concern independent of this patch, so not something to block on here.
The commit message statement "freeing a spinlock without unlocking it is fine" is slightly misleading -- it's fine in non-debug builds where spinlocks are no-ops or simple flags, but `CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK` and lockdep will complain. Still, the patch does what's needed.
No other issues found.
