Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] mm/damon/sysfs: fix param_ctx leak on damon_sysfs_new_test_ctx() failure
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 16:35:57 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260320163559.178101-1-objecting@objecting.org> (raw)

When damon_sysfs_new_test_ctx() fails in damon_sysfs_commit_input(),
param_ctx is leaked because the early return skips the cleanup at the
out label. Destroy param_ctx before returning.

Fixes: f0c5118ebb0e ("mm/damon/sysfs: catch commit test ctx alloc failure")
Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 6.18.x
