Subject: [PATCH] mm/damon/vaddr: check address space stability before VMA traversal
Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2026 18:25:58 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260630152558.24063-1-igorpetindev@gmail.com> (raw)
In __damon_va_three_regions(), the VMA tree is traversed without
checking if the address space is stable. If the OOM reaper runs
concurrently, it may mark the mm as MMF_UNSTABLE and leave empty
markers in the maple tree.
Add a check_stable_address_space(mm) call before iterating over
the VMAs to avoid potential NULL pointer dereferences.
