Subject: [PATCH 2/7] mm/damon/core-kunit: check region count before testing in split_at()
Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2026 17:30:16 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260717003022.119437-3-sj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260717003022.119437-1-sj@kernel.org>
damon_test_split_at() test next region that is assumed to be created by
damon_split_region_at() invocation. But the split might fail. In this
case, the succeeding test may dereference invalid pointers returned by
damon_next_region().
The invalid pointer may not cause a really bad user impact, because of
the implementation detail. It would only read wrong contents in the
belonging damon_target struct. Depending on the future change of the
offset from the link header to the accessing field, this could also be
really dangerous, though. Still, the realistic user impact would be
limited. It would affect only test run setups.
Fix it by testing if the number of regions was also changed as expected
and exit early for the failure.
The issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.
