From 35bb669bcf1be12d7517b3cc993bcf519c0db361 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fujii Masao Date: Sat, 3 May 2025 10:21:01 +0900 Subject: [PATCH v2] Add guard to prevent recursive memory contexts logging. MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Previously, if memory contexts logging was triggered repeatedly and rapidly while a previous request was still being processed, it could result in recursive calls to ProcessLogMemoryContextInterrupt(). This could lead to infinite recursion and potentially crash the process. This commit adds a guard to prevent such recursion. If ProcessLogMemoryContextInterrupt() is already in progress and logging memory contexts, subsequent calls will exit immediately, avoiding unintended recursive calls. While this scenario is unlikely in practice, it’s not impossible. This change adds a safety check to prevent such failures. Back-patch to v14, where memory contexts logging was introduced.
