Subject: mm/damon/core-kunit: skip wrong quota goal walk in commit_quota_goals()
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 17:14:40 -0700
damos_test_commit_quota_goals_for() traverses damos quota goals after
damos_commit_quota_goals() call. It assumes damos_commit_quota_goals()
made expected numbers of goals. It might not. Because the traversal is
made based on destination struct length, it could do out of bounds access
for source expectation value array.
The consequent user impact (out-of-bound access ) is quite bad. The
realistic user impact would be limited though. It would affect only test
run setups.
Fix it by testing if the number of goals was also changed as expected and
exit early for the failure.
The issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.
