Message   LWN.net    All   [$] Fixing the TCMalloc regression with RSEQ operations   September 8, 2026
 6:40 AM *   

The restartable sequences feature is one of
the stranger corners of the kernel's user-space interface; it provides a
way for user space to carry out simple lockless operations and be informed
if it is preempted over the course of an operation (and must, thus,
restart).  Work merged in the 6.19 release to improve the performance of
restartable
sequences broke the TCMalloc allocator,
which was relying on an undocumented (and unintended) kernel behavior.
Now, Olivier Dion is proposing an
addition to the restartable-sequences API that will bring TCMalloc back
into the fold; it does not make the restartable-sequences API any less
strange, though.
