You're right! Will fix this.
And there seems to be the same problem in SLAB, where we check
node->slabs_free list emptiness w/o holding node->list_lock (see
drain_freelist) while it can be modified concurrently by free_block.
This will be fixed automatically after we make __kmem_cache_shrink unset
node->free_limit (which must be done under the lock) though.
Thank you!
