Subject: [PATCH] memcg: damon: get memcg reference before access
Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2025 19:45:27 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251224034527.3751306-1-shakeel.butt@linux.dev> (raw)
The commit b74a120bcf507 ("mm/damon/core: implement
DAMOS_QUOTA_NODE_MEMCG_USED_BP") added accesses to memcg structure
without getting reference to it. This is unsafe. Let's get the reference
before accessing the memcg.
Fixes: b74a120bcf507 ("mm/damon/core: implement DAMOS_QUOTA_NODE_MEMCG_USED_BP")
