CVE-2026-64417

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mm: shrinker: fix NULL pointer dereference in debugfs

shrinker_debugfs_add() creates both "count" and "scan" debugfs files
unconditionally.

That assumes every shrinker implements both count_objects() and
scan_objects(), which is not guaranteed.  For example, the xen-backend
shrinker sets count_objects() but leaves scan_objects() NULL, so writing
to its scan file calls through a NULL function pointer and panics the
kernel:

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
RIP: 0010:0x0
Code: Unable to access opcode bytes at 0xffffffffffffffd6.

The count path has the same issue in principle if a shrinker omits
count_objects().

To fix it, only create "count" and "scan" debugfs files when the
corresponding callbacks are present.
