We run our maps with potentially millions of entries, so it's the size of the map plus the fact that kfree() does more work with KASAN that triggers this for us. > I feel the issue is different. > It seems the trie_free() algorithm doesn't scale. > Pls share a full reproducer. Yes, the scalability of the algorithm is also an issue. Jesper (CC'd) had some thoughts on this. But regardless, it seems like a bad idea to have an unbounded loop inside the kernel that processes user-controlled data. Thanks, Matt
