Subject: [PATCH 2/6] samples/damon/prcl: fix boot time enable crash
Date: Sun, 6 Jul 2025 12:32:03 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250706193207.39810-3-sj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250706193207.39810-1-sj@kernel.org>
If 'enable' parameter of the 'prcl' DAMON sample module is set at boot
time via the kernel command line, memory allocation is tried before the
slab is initialized. As a result kernel NULL pointer dereference BUG
can happen. Fix it by checking the initialization status.
Fixes: 2aca254620a8 ("samples/damon: introduce a skeleton of a smaple DAMON module for proactive reclamation")
