CVE-2026-98225

EUVD-2026-93153
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mm/shrinker: fix bogus set_shrinker_bit() with cgroup.memory=nokmem

With cgroup.memory=nokmem, shrinker_memcg_alloc() bails out early and
never allocates an id, so shrinker->id keeps the 0 it got from the
kzalloc() in shrinker_alloc().  __list_lru_init() then copies that 0 into
lru->shrinker_id, where it looks like a valid bit index.

Nothing calls expand_shrinker_info() on nokmem either, so shrinker_nr_max
stays 0 and every memcg ends up with an empty map (map_nr_max == 0).

deferred_split_folio() hands a real memcg to __list_lru_add() regardless
of whether the lru is memcg aware, so the first THP queued in a cgroup
does set_shrinker_bit(memcg, nid, 0) and trips the bounds check:

WARNING: mm/shrinker.c:212 at set_shrinker_bit+0x7d/0x90, CPU#126

Harmless, the WARN_ON_ONCE() is what keeps the out of bounds unit[] read
from happening, but the id should not look valid in the first place. 
Clear it before returning.

Two other spots could paper over this: drop the id in __list_lru_init()
when nokmem turns memcg_aware off, or make deferred_split_folio() pass
NULL like list_lru_add_obj() does.  Both leave shrinker->id lying around
for the next caller, so fix it where the id is handed out.
