Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y] samples/damon/mtier: fail early if address range parameters are invalid
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 22:37:18 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260721053718.177006-1-sj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026072008-humongous-quintuple-a2a9@gregkh>
From: Zenghui Yu <yuzenghui@huawei.com>
The comment on top of `struct damon_region` clearly says that
For any use case, @ar should be non-zero positive size.
which is now verified in damon_verify_new_region() if the kernel is built
with DAMON_DEBUG_SANITY.
The WARN_ONCE() can be triggered if the mtier sample module is enabled
before node{0,1}_{start,end}_addr have been properly initialized, which is
obviously not good.

Note that the same issue can happen if detect_node_addresses is true, and
node 0 or 1 is memoryless. Fix it together by checking the validity of
parameters right before damon_new_region() and fail early if they're
invalid.
