Subject: [PATCH v2] mm/damon/core: get memcg reference before access
Date: Wed, 24 Dec 2025 16:29:04 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251225002904.139543-1-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")
