Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] mm/damon/sysfs: fix param_ctx leak on damon_sysfs_new_test_ctx() failure
Date: Sat, 21 Mar 2026 10:54:24 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260321175427.86000-2-sj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260321175427.86000-1-sj@kernel.org>
From: Josh Law <objecting@objecting.org>
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")
