[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/damon/tests/core-kunit: catch test failure in test_merge_regions_of()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-damon-tests-core-kunit-catch-test-failure-in-test_merge_regions_of.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm/damon/tests/core-kunit: catch test failure in test_merge_regions_of()
Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2026 20:09:57 -0700

KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ() does not abort the execution of test code when the
expectation is not met.  But damon_test_merge_regions_of() code after its
initial KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ() call assumes the expectation is met.  It does a
per-region test with a hard-coded number of regions that is correct only
if the expectation was met.  As a result, __nth_region_of() could return
NULL, and the test code can dereference NULL pointers.  Fix the issue by
catching the expectation failure and skip the per-region tests.

The user impact on realistic setups should be negligible, as it is a unit
test.

The issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.
