Subject: [PATCH] mm/damon/core: validate goal nid before accessing node data
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 07:30:34 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260325073034.140353-1-objecting@objecting.org> (raw)
damos_get_node_mem_bp() and damos_get_node_memcg_used_bp() pass
goal->nid directly to si_meminfo_node() and NODE_DATA() without
checking that it refers to a valid, online NUMA node. Since
goal->nid is set from userspace via sysfs with no validation, a
negative or out-of-range value causes an out-of-bounds access in
NODE_DATA(), and a valid but offline node gives undefined results.
Add bounds and node_online() checks before using the nid.
Fixes: 0e1c773b501f ("mm/damon/core: introduce damos quota goal metrics for memory node utilization")
