Subject: [PATCH] mm/damon: validate min_region_size to be power of 2
Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2026 15:32:31 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260331073231.30060-1-aethernet65535@gmail.com> (raw)

Problem
=======
damon_commit_ctx() checks if 'min_region_sz' is a power of 2. But if it
is not, kdamond will terminate unexpectedly due to the user's invalid
input.

Solution
========
Add the same check to damon_{lru_sort, reclaim}_apply_parameters(), but
return -EINVAL immediately. This is to prevent user's invalid input
causing kdamond to terminate unexpectedly.
